SEREB

Industrials

SEREB, the Société d'étude et de réalisation d'engins balistiques, was a French state-owned aerospace company founded on 17 September 1959 with the task of creating missiles able to carry the French atomic weapon. It was created initially to develop two-stage ballistic missiles for the French nuclear deterrent, and its work included the Saphir two-stage rocket. It was headquartered at the Centre d'achévement et d'essais des propulseurs et engins at Saint-Médard-en-Jalles in Gironde. In 1970 it merged with Nord Aviation to form Aérospatiale, which later joined EADS.
