54 LISI - 2025 Integrated Report INNOVATION OPTIBLIND™ A SOLUTION DEVELOPED WITH OUR CUSTOMERS, DESIGNED TO MEET THEIR INDUSTRIAL CHALLENGES What innovations characterize the OPTIBLIND™ system? Estelle Gasnier: OPTIBLIND™ is a next-generation blind fastener designed and developed by LISI AEROSPACE for structural assemblies in the aerospace and space industries. The concept is distinguished by its pull-and-thread installation process, which combines a pulling phase followed by a threading phase, delivering higher performance levels than previously used methods, particularly on composite structures. Engineered with future automation in mind, the fastener is a complete system integrating the fastening element, installation tools, and an in-process verification function to ensure proper installation. This end-to-end approach enhances assembly reliability, reduces installation times, and supports the development of customers’ future assembly lines.
