Safran opens new $54M campus in Tarnos

摘要

Safran Helicopter Engines opened a $54 million, 355,000-sq-ft industrial campus in the city of Tarnos in southwest France last month. The new campus, "CAP 2020," represents a significant modernization of the existing facility there and will mainly be dedicated to product support and MRO activities, including the hub for Safran Helicopter Engines' global support network. Its Tarnos campus currently employs 1,550 and is the company's second-largest facility behind the main plant at Bordes. The new campus is spread over three buildings dedicated to office space to manage global support, a repair shop for in-service engines, and a parts and components repair shop dedicated to the MRO of Safran engines from its worldwide support sites.
