Sovam Ground Support Equipment strategic review

In 2023, Avia Solutions supported a global infrastructure investor with a strategic review of Sovam, a French Ground Support Equipment (GSE) manufacturer with a long history supplying European airports and handlers.

Our assessment evaluated Sovam’s current product competitiveness, market positioning, customer concentration profile and operational performance, benchmarking the company’s capabilities and future operations against leading international GSE providers.

We analysed long-term growth trends including the transition to electric GSE, fleet renewal cycles, and market demand from key airport operators and ground handling groups.

In parallel, we identified operational improvement levers across procurement, product range optimisation and commercial focus areas.

The results enabled the investor to form a clear view on Sovam’s business resilience, investment needs, and the potential to capture additional market share in a consolidating global GSE sector.
