BOLOGNE (HAUTE-MARNE)
FORGE 2020
IS UP AND RUNNING
The relocation plan for the Bologne Forge has accelerated
in 2017 and marked two major steps. The definition of the
program and the conduct of the public call for tenders with
the SEM have led to FAYAT being retained. Second key
milestone: Safran and Airbus have approved the quality
assurance and transfer plans. Detailed project planning is
underway. Work must begin in the third quarter of 2018. The
first transfers are scheduled for mid-2019.
RZESZÓW (POLAND)
A NEWUNIT FOR COMPRESSOR BLADES
LISI AEROSPACE’s Polish historical site, embedded in the SAFRAN industrial
complex and involved in the post-forging finishing of compressor blades, was
no longer able to support the growth of this activity. It will be transferred to
a newmodern 5,500 sq.m. unit in the Rzeszów Free Zone. Designed according
to the quality standards of the Group, built in less than a year, it will welcome
around 300 people. The industrial transfer, which will be completed in the
summer of 2018, is accompanied by a reflection on flows and a robotization
plan. This is intended to eventually remove painful tasks andmust guarantee
the very high finishing requirements desired by the division’s customers.

division received numerous awards

of the policy developed by the Group
