The agreement cements Syensqo’s role as a key materials supplier for next-generation launch systems
Syensqo has locked in a major long-term supply deal with Avio, doubling down on a decades-old partnership at a time when the global space race is accelerating.
The agreement cements Syensqo’s role as a key materials supplier for next-generation launch systems, delivering high-performance ablative materials, RTM resins and adhesives built to endure the punishing conditions of spaceflight.
These technologies will power Avio’s flagship programs, including Vega-C, Europe’s versatile launch vehicle designed to carry payloads across multiple orbital missions.
The materials are engineered for extreme environments, where failure is not an option. From rocket motor nozzles to exit cones and structural components, Syensqo’s solutions are embedded in the most critical parts of the launch system—where intense heat and mechanical stress push engineering to its limits.
“We are proud to extend our collaboration with Avio and continue supporting critical space programs,” said Rodrigo Elizondo, President of Syensqo Composite Materials. “As momentum builds in the global space sector, our advanced materials help enable reliable and efficient launch systems for a wide range of missions.”
“Syensqo has been a trusted partner for many years, providing high-performance materials that meet the stringent requirements of our launch systems,” said Salvatore Mazzarella, Procurement and Supply Chain Director at Avio. “This agreement strengthens our collaboration as we continue to advance reliable and efficient launch solutions for our customers.”
The deal underscores Syensqo’s long-standing footprint in aerospace innovation, spanning from early space exploration efforts to today’s cutting-edge launch technologies. As demand for reliable access to space surges, the company is positioning its advanced materials at the heart of safer, more efficient missions.
