APEI operates private aircraft for aerial data collection across France, nearby Europe, and Africa.
Hexagon AB has announced an agreement to acquire APEI, a France-based aerial mapping company, to expand its geospatial data capabilities.
APEI owns and operates a fleet of private aircraft dedicated to aerial data acquisition, primarily within France, neighboring European countries, and Africa. They have been a long-term partner of Hexagon, utilizing its sensors and processing capabilities and contributing to the Hexagon Content Program, the largest library of aerial imagery & elevation models in the United States & Europe and a core application on HxDR, Hexagon’s cloud-based platform for storing, visualizing and collaborating on spatial data. Acquiring APEI will enhance Hexagon’s ability to support growing demand for accurate, large-scale geospatial content.
APEI, supported by around 10 employees, will be reported within Hexagon’s Geosystems division and is expected to generate revenues of around ~3 MEUR in 2025 with margins similar to average Hexagon levels. Completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions and is expected to be finalized by the end of Q2 2025.
