Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), October 28, 2026: Safran Landing Systems, the world leader in carbon brakes for the aerospace industry, today  inaugurated the expansion of its manufacturing and heat sink refurbishment facility in Sendayan,  along with a new carbon brake Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) center in Nilai. These  complementary investments will help meet the growing needs of about 100 airline operators in  Asia-Pacific, supporting fleets of Airbus (A320, A321, A350), Boeing (737, 777, 787) and ATR  aircraft.  

The €134 million expansion of the Sendayan facility adds 7,000 square meters of advanced  manufacturing space, including a new textile line, carbonization furnaces and state-of-the-art  machining equipment. The site, which currently employs 160 people, will double its carbon brake  disc production capacity by 2028.  

The new 1,000 square meter MRO center in Nilai represents an investment of €2 million. It is  strategically located close to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport and 20 kilometers from  Sendayan, which supplies it with new and refurbished carbon brake discs. 

“Malaysia plays a strategic role in Safran Landing Systems’ global industrial footprint. Our  investments in Sendayan and Nilai, combined with our local MRO partner network, reflect our  commitment to supporting Asia Pacific’s long-term aviation growth by providing faster end-to-end  wheels & brakes services, closer to our customers. They also demonstrate our dedication to  developing local talent and reducing our environmental footprint” François Bastin, Safran  Landing Systems CEO 

Safran has been present in Malaysia for more than 50 years, and the relationship has moved  from supply and service into manufacturing, and now into maintenance, repair and overhaul.  Expanding an existing plant and opening a new one in the same year is a strong confidence in  Malaysia. These investments will create long-term value, develop high-skilled employment and  further strengthen Malaysia’s aerospace capabilities. MIDA congratulates Safran Landing  Systems on both significant milestones and stands ready to support the company’s continued  growth in Malaysia” Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, CEO of the Malaysian  Investment Development Authority (MIDA) 

To support this ramp-up, Safran Landing Systems plans to increase its workforce in Malaysia to  220 employees by 2030 across its industrial and MRO operations. This expansion will further  strengthen the Group’s capabilities in manufacturing, maintenance and customer support, while  developing local skills and expertise. 

Reflecting Safran’s environmental commitments*, the Sendayan site has already reduced its  greenhouse gas emissions** by 60% between 2018 and 2025, by using low-carbon local energy  sources and recovering process gases. By 2030, additional sustainable energy capacity will  further lower the site’s emissions.  

These investments are part of Safran Landing Systems’ broader strategy to strengthen its  presence in Asia-Pacific, as illustrated by the expansion of its Singapore landing gear MRO  facility, inaugurated in September 2026.  

*Safran is committed to reducing carbon emissions from its operations (Scopes 1 and 2 market-based) by 50.4% by 2030  compared with 2018 levels. 

**In terms of scopes 1 and 2 market-based emissions
