Safran unveils new facility in Singapore for the production and maintenance of aerospace electrical systems

This press release was issued by Safran.

 

Safran Electrical & Power unveiled today its new production and maintenance facility dedicated to aerospace electrical systems, located in the heart of the Seletar Aerospace Park in Singapore. The ceremony was held with the Economic Development Board (EDB), JTC Corporation and the French Embassy in Singapore.

This new plant, which employs 70 people, specializes in the manufacturing and maintenance of power conversion and distribution equipment, batteries for customers such as Airbus, Boeing, ATR, as well as major airline companies such as Singapore Airlines, Air China and Japan Airlines.

The facility has fully started its production and maintenance activities, after receiving the approvals of the major international aeronautical authorities: Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The new site strengthens Safran Electrical & Power's position as a reference player in the regional aerospace electrical sector.

As part of its growth strategy, Safran Electrical & Power transferred to this new facility all the electrical activities previously carried out by Thales in Singapore, following their acquisition in October 2023.

Safran has been active in Singapore for more than 45 years in the aerospace and defense markets. With its 900 employees spread over five production or maintenance facilities, Safran is a major player in the local industry, particularly in services for landing gear, evacuation slides, on-board electronic systems and helicopter engines.
