Daher has secured two new logistics contracts from Safran, covering warehouse management for Safran Nacelles in Hamburg and a dedicated MRO and AOG platform for Safran Electronics & Defense in the Île-de-France region. Operations for both contracts are set to begin in April 2026, building on an existing agreement with Safran Helicopter Engines that was renewed and expanded last year.
In Hamburg, near the Airbus A320neo final assembly line, Daher will manage nacelle integration logistics with a team of 20 employees handling receiving, storage, parts preparation, handling, and shipping. The contract, awarded in late January 2026, follows a two-month personnel integration from a previous operator and bolsters Daher’s presence in Germany, where it employs 1,100 people in logistics.
The 3,000 m² platform in Tremblay-en-France, selected after a March 2025 tender, supports Safran Electronics & Defense’s customer support with over 3,000 shipments, 1,700 receipts, and 7,500 picking lines annually. Its proximity to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport enables AOG response within 3 hours 30 minutes, using Daher’s Warehouse Management System for traceability. The three-year contract includes two optional years.
Existing operations for Safran Helicopter Engines at sites in Bordes, Tarnos, and Buchelay involve more than 150 Daher employees, aiding helicopter production increases and site upgrades. Daher and Safran are also advancing joint automation projects, including guided vehicles and storage solutions.
Safran is a strategic partner of the Daher Group. We have been working together for many years with Safran Helicopter Engines, and these new assignments with Safran Nacelles and Safran Electronics & Defense mark an important milestone. We are now present across both industrial activities and spare parts flows, in France and Germany. This is the result of teamwork and a shared commitment to progress together, said Aymeric Daher, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Daher and CEO of Daher Logistics.
