On August 27, Safran Nacelles (Burnley, U.K.) and Saertex GmbH (Saerbeck, Germany) signed a 10-year contract on cooperation for the production of aircraft equipment made of carbon fiber fabrics.
Under the contract, Saertex will supply multiaxial carbon fiber fabrics which Safran will use to produce engine nacelles for various aircraft using infusion technology. This contractual agreement means the cooperation of two globally operating companies.
"I am pleased that, with Safran, we have been able to convince an important new partner of our competence and improved technologies in the aerospace sector,” comments Christoph Geyer, CEO at Saetex at the contract’s conclusion. Similarly, Thierry Viguier, Safran vice president Materials Purchasing voices that Safran is excited for this new partnership.
