SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 17, 2025 / EPI, an entity of EDGE Group and the cornerstone of precision engineering in the UAE's aerospace, oil and gas, and defence industries, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with General Atomics-Systems Integration, an affiliate of General Atomics.

General Atomics signs an MOU with EPI on February 17, 2025 during IDEX.

"Through this collaboration, EPI will significantly expand its capabilities. This will include the establishment of a state-of-the-art facility to support the production of electromechanical systems," said Michael Deshaies, CEO of EPI.

"Working with EPI will mark a leap forward in the development and manufacturing of this advanced aviation technology," said General Atomics-Systems Integration Vice President Scott Sappenfield. "We expect to offer safe, affordable, high-performance solutions to replace legacy systems in military and commercial aircraft."
