Employing over 95,000 people and generating 24.64 billion euros in sales in 2019, the company is listed on the Euronext stock exchange and is part of the CAC 40 and Euro Stoxx 50.[5] Its headquarters are located in Paris.
The name Safran was chosen from 4,250 suggestions, including 1,750 proposed by employees.[6][7] As a holding company for many subsidiaries, the name was deemed suitable for the suggestion of direction, movement, and strategy. Safran translates as rudder blade and as saffron, which the company highlights as one of the catalysts for early international trade.[8]
History
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (June 2014)
Origins
In 1905 Louis Seguin created the company Gnome.[9] Production of the first rotary engine for airplanes, the Gnome Omega, started in 1909.[9] This company merged with the Le Rhône, a company created in 1912 by Louis Verdet, to form the Gnome et Rhône engine company.[9] Gnome & Rhône was nationalized in 1945, creating Snecma.[9] In 2000, this company gave its name to the “Snecma Group”, and carried out a number of acquisitions to form a larger group with an array of complementary businesses.[9]
Sagem (Société d’Applications Générales de l’Electricité et de la Mécanique) was created in 1925 by Marcel Môme.[9] In 1939, Sagem entered the telephone and transmissions market by taking control of Société anonyme des télécommunications (SAT).[citation needed] It acquired Société de Fabrication d’Instruments de Mesure (Sfim), a measurement instrument specialist, in 1999.[citation needed] However, by 2008 Sagem Mobile and Sagem Communications had been sold.[citation needed] Sagem Mobile became Sagem Wireless in January 2009.[citation needed]
Safran Group
The Safran Group was created on 11 May 2005 with the merger of Snecma and Sagem SA.[9]
In June 2014, Arianespace CEO Stephane Israel announced that European efforts to remain competitive in response to SpaceX's recent success have begun in earnest. This included the creation of a new joint venture company from Arianespace's two largest shareholders: the launch-vehicle producer Airbus and engine-producer Safran.[10]
In January 2017, Safran initiated a takeover of the aircraft interior supplier Zodiac Aerospace to create the third largest aerospace supplier with $22.5 billion revenue, behind United Technologies with $28.2 billion and GE Aviation with $24.7 billion; the new group will be 92,000-employee strong, with 48% of its business in aircraft systems and equipment, from landing gears to seats, 46% in propulsion and 6% in defense.[8]
In May 2017, Safran announced the completion of the sale of its identity and security activities to Advent International for Euro 2.4 billion.[13]
In February 2018, Safran took control of Zodiac Aerospace, significantly expanding its aircraft equipment activities. Zodiac Aerospace has 32,500 employees and generated sales of 5.1 billion euros for its fiscal year ended 31 August 2017.[5]
The Safran group is divided into three main branches:[15]
Aerospace Propulsion
The CFM56, the most widespread turbofan, is produced by a 50-50 joint venture with GE
The aerospace propulsion branch groups all operations concerning the propulsion of aeroplanes, helicopters, missiles, and launchers, for the civil aviation, military aviation, and space markets: design, production, marketing, testing, maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO).
Solid rocket motors for launchers, strategic and tactical missiles
Thermostructural composite materials
At the October 2018 NBAA convention, Safran presented its ENGINeUS electric motor range up to 500 kW (670 hp) designed for electric aircraft, starting with a 45 kW (60 hp) one with integrated control electronics, with an energy efficiency of over 94% and a power-to-weight ratio of 2.5 kW / kg at 2,500rpm and 172 N⋅m (127 lbf⋅ft) of torque, for a 18 kg (40 lb) weight with the controller, 12 kg (26 lb) without.[16] Flight-testing may happen in 2019 or 2020.[17]
The aircraft equipment branch groups all design, production, sales, and support operations for systems and equipment used by civil and military airplanes and helicopters.
