Quality is a fundamental requirement in the aerospace industry, and it underpins everything we do.
GPI Forankra designs and manufactures ETSO-certified aircraft cargo securing systems under processes controlled and approved by EASA, ensuring full compliance with applicable aviation standards such as ETSO C90 and ETSO C172.
Our EASA Part 21G, also known as Production Organisation Approval (POA), enables us to deliver our products with EASA Form 1 certification, guaranteeing airworthiness and full traceability.
Our organization is structured to ensure product conformity, process control, and consistent performance across all stages of production. It is also regularly audited by our main OEM customers under their EN 9100 quality systems.
From raw materials to final delivery, quality is embedded in our daily operations through documented procedures, qualified processes, and continuous improvement.
Our certifications reflect this commitment and provide our customers with confidence that our products meet the highest aerospace industry standards.

Sustainable Production
Certified expertise and reduced impact.
GPI Forankra is committed to reducing the environmental impact of its manufacturing processes while maintaining the highest industry standards.
A cornerstone of our approach is the recycling of polyester webbing waste. By transforming these materials into reusable resources, we minimize waste and support a circular economy.
In addition, our production facility benefits from low-carbon French electricity, significantly reducing CO₂ emissions compared to many other manufacturing regions.
Our overall sustainability performance has also been assessed through our EcoVadis evaluation, demonstrating continuous improvement in environmental and social responsibility.

Sustainable Product Offerings
Lower-impact solutions, by design.
Sustainability also drives the design of our products.
GPI Forankra develops cargo securing solutions that are safe, durable, competitive, and environmentally responsible, including high-performance aeronautical equipment.
Beyond reducing packaging and optimizing logistics, our main focus is on weight reduction.
Weight reduction
Lighter cargo nets and straps mean less mass on every flight — and lower fuel burn over the operating life.
Optimised logistics
Compact packaging and pooled deliveries reduce transport-related emissions.
Durable & competitive
High-performance materials engineered for a long service life — and certified to aerospace standards.
