ARMEXIA is a brokerage and strategic advisory firm serving the defence, security and aerospace sectors. We operate on mandate, within the French and European regulatory framework, and we work to a single standard of discretion.

Authorisation

Approved by the French Ministry of the Armed Forces. Holder of the AFCI authorisation for the manufacture, trade and brokerage of war materials, n° 099198, category A2, granted by the Direction générale de l'armement and valid until 15 June 2027.

01

The firm

We act as a trusted intermediary between manufacturers, institutions and qualified end users, translating complex operational requirements into workable commercial arrangements.

ARMEXIA is independent: it holds no capital link with the parties it brings together, and it is remunerated for the mandate it is given, not for the product it moves. Every engagement is conducted under the export control and brokerage rules that apply to it, and no assignment is accepted that cannot be conducted openly with the competent authorities.

The firm is established in Paris, France, and works across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. It was incorporated in 2025.
