Safran inaugurated its fifth plant, a dedicated electrical wiring factory, in Chihuahua, Mexico on 1 July 2026. The facility, located at Parque Industrial Supra, will create over 800 new jobs and directly supports the aircraft electrical systems supply chain for modern airframers. Governor Maru Campos attended the opening ceremony, underscoring Chihuahua’s growing role as a leader in foreign aerospace investment. This strategic expansion strengthens Safran’s North American manufacturing footprint to serve the region’s expanding aerospace sector, distinct from its existing engine and aerosystems sites. The plant consolidates Safran Electrical & Power’s presence as the world’s second-largest aircraft equipment manufacturer supplying critical wiring systems.
