Bonatre (hall 4 C102) has made the short journey to Le Bourget from its base some 60km (37 miles) away to promote its range of wave springs, deployed mainly in sealings.

The wave springs, intended to save space, are cold-rolled from round wire. Bonatre is a supplier to OEMs which in turn serve airframers with pumps, motors, interior components and other items. Among Bonatre's customers are Snecma and Eaton, with which it has a long-term relationship. Its springs feature in the Airbus A380 and in other Airbus programmes, both widebody and single-aisle.

The company, founded in 1927, today employs 25 people at its facility in Courcelles-lès-Gisors.
