<div> <span style=font-size:14px;>The beginning of Aeronautics</span> </div> <div> <span style=font-size:14px;>History In 1961, Catherineau makes its first cabin interior furniture for the Falcon. </span> </div> <div> <span style=font-size:14px;>Alain, the actual president, grows the business by expanding this completion activity for the French aircraft manufacturer and its european completion center. He focuses the aero<em></em>nautics business on lightweight, high quality furniture.</span> </div> <div> <div> <span style=font-size:12px;><br /> </span> </div> <div> <span style=font-size:14px;>2000’s decade</span> </div> <div> <span style=font-size:14px;>The 2000’s decade is marked by substantial change for Catherineau. The company leaves it historic Bacalan location, moving to a new enviro<em></em>nmentally friendly 50,000 sq. ft. factory at the Bordeaux-Aéroparc in Saint Médard en Jalles, complete with updated equipment. It is in this decade that the 8th generation takes up the baton with the arrival of Anne Sophie in 2006, the current CEO, and of Marie, respo<em></em>nsible for R&D, in 2013. Both are daughters of Alain, and equally motivated to succeed and co<em></em>ntinue the Catherineau adventure.</span> </div> </div> <div> <span style=font-size:12px;><br /> </span> </div> <div> <div> <span style=font-size:14px;>Catherineau’s DNA</span> </div> <div> <span style=font-size:14px;>Pierre, Pierre, Jean, Jean-Achille, Pierre Georges, Jean, Alain; a lineage of leaders, all members of the Catherineau family, and all motivated by the same desire to ensure the development and lo<em></em>ngevity of their family business.</span> </div> <div> <span style=font-size:14px;>From 1750 to today, from schoo<em></em>ners and lighters to luxury furniture, wood has remained Catherineau’s DNA.
