Safran is a French multinational aerospace and defense group, formed in 2005 through the merger of Snecma (aircraft engines) and Sagem (electronics and security). Headquartered in Paris, the company employs about 92,000 people and generates annual revenue of roughly US$25 billion from aircraft propulsion, aircraft equipment, and defense electronics. Safran's CFM International joint venture with GE Aerospace produces the LEAP engine, the best-selling commercial aircraft engine in history, powering the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX families. The company also makes landing gear, nacelles, wiring systems, and avionics, and its Safran Electronics & Defense division produces inertial navigation systems, optronics, and drone systems for military customers worldwide. For aerospace supply chains, Safran is both a major buyer of titanium, composites, and precision machined parts and a leading supplier of engines and aircraft systems, with a global MRO network supporting airlines and defense forces.
