Three principles underpinning strategy

  • Listening to our clients:
    We exist because of our customers’ needs. Customer satisfaction is everybody’s aim and the yardstick we use to assess our performance.
  • Human skills:
    Matra’s value resides first of all in its employees’ know-how. Developing their talents, motivation and training is an ongoing concern.
  • Process quality:
    Flexible methods, tools and processes that are well-tailored to the challenges our customers set, are what guarantees our competitive edge.

Overview and strategy

Matra Automobile Engineering is a high-premium engineering service provider, targeting major players in the automobile and transport sectors. MAE took over all R&D skills with teams that focus on research, approval, industrialisation and managing of projects from car manufacturer Matra. It covers the entire product development cycle, from styling to start of production.

Drawing on 40 years of vehicle design and industrial experience (Matra has produced over a million cars), MAE engineers offer a comprehensive range of services : from design and approval through to industrialisation, covering subsystems through to whole vehicles.

Part of the Pininfarina group since 2003, MAE has enjoyed buoyant international development in the past few years, in Europe and developing markets. Rigour and quality are the watchwords governing projects steered to drive the firm’s development.

Working on both partial and turn-key projects, MAE provides its clients with its overall vision and experience of manufacturers’ own challenges, which are the best guarantees of results and performance.

Drawing on its overall vision guaranteeing quality and competitive edge, and backed with a policy of technical and sales alliances, Matra aims in the medium-term to win over a significant share in the engineering market.
