About us
Aerospace Propulsion Products (APP), a subsidiary of ArianeGroup, is a small company developing and producing innovative igniters and gas generators with a focus on quality and safety.
Who are we?
APP develops and manufactures ignition systems for space launchers. These launchers are essential—not only for scientific progress, but also for everyday life. Services such as navigation, weather forecasting, telecommunications, and disaster management all rely on satellites. Rockets enable these capabilities by delivering satellites into orbit around the Earth.
From the very beginning, APP has applied space technology beyond the aerospace sector. Today, more than ever, we invest in developing new products that build on our expertise in space systems. Examples include a fast-acting gas generator to prevent dust explosions and innovative solutions that use ignition technology to suppress fires rather than ignite them.
APP has a straightforward organizational structure, consisting of a production department and an engineering department. Today, we employ around 50 people at our site in Klundert, the Netherlands. We offer all the capabilities and facilities required for technology development, engineering, and production. Our activities are carried out in accordance with the highest quality standards, as required for our space products. We place strong emphasis on safety, both in our products and within our production facilities.
