RIR AIR AT LEONARDO: A JOURNEY INTO THE HEART OF ITALIAN AEROSPACE
On September 17, 2026, a select delegation of companies belonging to RIR AIR visited the Leonardo’s Tessera plant in Venice. An important occasion to gain first-hand insight into the technological heart of one of the Group’s main production sites for helicopters and aeronautics activities.
Engineering excellence up close
Participants were able to learn more about the site’s industrial and technological capabilities and explore the processes and expertise developed by Leonardo to support programmes and customers in Italy and worldwide, engaging directly with key leaders from one of the world’s leading players in aerospace, defence and security.
Value and development for the aerospace supply chain
High-level networking, know-how sharing, and new opportunities for industrial collaboration: the visit confirms how the Network generates measurable value for member companies, fostering strategic alliances between local regional excellence and major international groups in the sector.
