Safran is a leading French industrial group specializing in high-precision technologies for aerospace, defense and space applications. Created in 2005 through the merger of SNECMA and SAGEM, the company significantly expanded its scope with the 2018 acquisition of Zodiac Aerospace. Today, Safran is positioned as the world’s second-largest aircraft equipment supplier, with a broad portfolio spanning propulsion, aircraft systems and defense technologies.
The group is organized around several major business lines. Safran Aircraft Engines designs and manufactures civil and military aircraft engines, alongside related parts and maintenance services. Safran Aircraft Equipment provides mission-critical systems such as landing gear, wheels and brakes, electrical wiring, hydraulic systems and cabin interior solutions inherited from Zodiac. Safran Electronics & Defense develops avionics, inertial navigation, optronics, mission systems and defense equipment. Safran is also investing in aircraft electrification and next-generation mobility, including its ENGINeUS electric motor family.
Safran holds a strong market position thanks to high technological barriers, a large installed base and a business model that combines original equipment sales with a substantial aftermarket stream. The group is a strategic partner to major civil and military aircraft manufacturers, particularly Airbus, Boeing and defense customers. In 2025, Safran highlighted excellent financial performance, supported by resilient air traffic, industrial ramp-ups and strong defense momentum, and raised its ambitions for 2028.
Safran has a global footprint across Europe, North America and Asia, with a particularly strong presence in the United States in avionics, electromechanical systems, lighting and testing technologies. Its international network includes manufacturing, maintenance and engineering sites serving commercial aviation, defense and space markets. The company’s positioning is built on innovation, safety, reliability and its contribution to a more sustainable and efficient aviation industry.
