Safran Electrical & Power has unveiled new facility in Singapore for the production and maintenance of aerospace electrical systems.
On Tuesday (December 9, 2025), Safran Electrical & Power announced the inauguration of a new production and maintenance facility dedicated to aerospace electrical systems, located in the heart of the Seletar Aerospace Park in Singapore. To celebrate the opening, a ceremony was held with the Economic Development Board (EDB), JTC Corporation and the French Embassy in Singapore. The new plant employs 70 team members, and specializes in the manufacturing and maintenance of power conversion and distribution equipment and batteries for customers such as Airbus, Boeing, ATR, as well as major airline companies like Singapore Airlines, Air China and Japan Airlines.
Speaking at Tuesday’s ceremony, Safran Electrical & Power’s CEO, Bruno Bellanger, said,
“I am very pleased to inaugurate this new industrial facility, which embodies our commitment to competitiveness, innovation and excellence. We chose Singapore because it is an essential hub both economically and industrially, and its attractiveness is reinforced by the government’s constant and proactive support. This site allows us to be as close as possible to our local customers, providing them with cutting-edge electrical solutions and services.”
As part of their growth strategy, Safran Electrical & Power transferred all the electrical activities previously carried out by Thales in Singapore to this new facility, following their acquisition in October 2023. The facility has fully started production and maintenance activities, after receiving the approvals of the major international aeronautical authorities, including the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Safran has been active in Singapore for over 45 years in the aerospace and defense markets. With 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.
