Solvay has been a long-time partner of airplane engine manufacturer Safran. This collaboration, which has led to the creation of new generation of lighter, more efficient and less noisy engines, was recently renewed with the signing of a new long-term agreement.
In 2018, Solvay and Safran entered into a supply agreement by which the chemical Group would continue to supply the engine manufacturer with its advanced materials for the construction of the LEAP engine, co-developed with GE via jointly-owned company CFM. In May 2019, this agreement was complemented with a new contract for the supply by Solvay of high temperature composites and adhesives that Safran will use on several of their critical engine components.
