Paris, France-based international supplier of systems and equipment in the aerospace and defense markets, Safran S.A. announced the opening of a factory to manufacture electrical wiring interconnection systems in Hyderabad, located in India’s southern state of Telangana.
Stretching across over 43,000 square feet, this factory will employ 250 people. It will be an integral part of the Group’s strategy to establish itself in India to serve a buoyant local market as well as its existing European and American markets.

Philippe Petitcolin, the Group’s chief executive officer said, “Safran is proud to further reinforce its relations with India, a historical market player and a leading aeronautical supplier worldwide. This new factory reasserts our commitment to products ‘made in India’, and it completes our industrial grid in the region with a new, high-performance production site.”
