Pelico Secures AE Ventures Investment for Aerospace Manufacturing AI

Pelico has secured a strategic investment from AE Ventures to expand its AI powered manufacturing orchestration platform across aerospace and defense, the company announced in a press release. The investment was announced at the Farnborough International Airshow on July 23, 2026, and financial terms were not disclosed.

AE Ventures is the venture capital platform of AE Industrial Partners, a private investment firm focused on national security, aerospace, and industrial services. Through the investment, Pelico will get access to AE Industrial's portfolio companies, strategic limited partners, and network in North America.

Pelico's platform gives factory teams a shared view of planning, supply, and execution work. Manufacturers listed by Pelico include Boeing, Safran, and Daikin. Deployments have taken as little as 12 weeks, with reported averages of 40 percent fewer parts shortages, 15 percent better delivery timing, and 40 percent shorter cycle times.

Boeing Global Services is using Pelico to connect planning, supply, and execution teams in maintenance and repair operations. Pelico was founded in Paris in 2019 by Tarik Benabdallah, Mamoun Alaoui, and Jonathan Hickson.
