50 ans du site Exxelia Pessac

C'est avec fierté que nous avons fêté le 17 septembre 2022, les 50 ans du site Exxelia Pessac.

Le site de Pessac est l'un des 12 sites industriels d'Exxelia. Il compte environ 130 salariés et est spécialisé dans la production de condensateurs céramique ainsi que des pièces en alliage de matériaux, suivant nos propres recettes de céramiques isolantes. 

L'usine a vu le jour à Pessac il y a un demi-siècle : elle fait partie intégrante de la vie de la Cité et de la Région qui ont participé activement à son développement.

Parfaitement insérée dans l’écosystème local, les interactions sont nombreuses avec les institutions, laboratoires, universités, écoles ou entreprises voisines.

L’usine de Pessac a été construite en 1971 et inaugurée en septembre 1972. Sa création est à l’initiative de Jean-Claude Asscher, Président du groupe Tekelec-Airtronic.

Initialement dédié à la distribution, le groupe Tekelec- Airtronic s’est lancé dans la fabrication sous licences pour ensuite développer et industrialiser ses propres produits. Son développement a suivi celui de l’électronique, des télécommunications et de l’informatique en France et dans le monde. Le groupe atteindra une dimension conséquente : en 1992, fort de 20 sociétés employant 3 000 personnes dans différents pays, son chiffre d’affaires dépassera le milliard de dollars. L’usine de Pessac restera associée au groupe jusqu’au début des années 2000.
