Aero Sekur’s legacy began in 1919 in the United States, founded by Leslie L. Irvin as Irvin Aerospace. We quickly became a global benchmark for parachute systems in the aerospace sector.

In 1993, our Italian division acquired Sekur from Pirelli, a strategic move that expanded our expertise into the design, manufacturing, and maintenance of high-performance safety products for both military and civil applications. In 2001, the company officially rebranded as Aero Sekur S.p.A., marking a new era of innovation.

Over the last two decades, Aero Sekur has solidified its position as a key partner to major European rotorcraft Type Certificate Holders (TCH). We provide end-to-end support, from initial design and development to full qualification, specializing in:

• Emergency Flotation Systems
• External Life-raft Systems
• Advanced Fuel Systems

In July 2022, Aero Sekur reached a significant milestone, receiving EASA Approval as a Design Organization (Part 21, Section A, Subpart J). This certification grants us the privilege to:

• Apply for Major modifications and repairs.
• Approve Minor modifications and repairs for both large and small rotorcraft.
• Oversee critical ditching equipment and fuel system certifications.
• Precision Crashworthiness Testing

We pride ourselves on our advanced verification capabilities for fuel tank crashworthiness. To ensure the highest safety standards, Aero Sekur developed a proprietary, dedicated test rig specifically for certification under EASA CS 29.952 and CS 27.952 requirements.
