The French engine manufacturer Safran announced this Thursday to choose France to set up a new carbon brake plant in Ain with an entry into service scheduled for 2030, representing “an investment of more than 450 million euros in the long term”.
“The energy that can represent up to 30% of the cost of manufacturing a carbon brake, the warranty for this new factory of secure access to decarbonized electricity at a stable and competitive long -term price has enabled this choice of implementation,” the group said in a press release.
The boss of the equipment supplier had however announced that he no longer wanted to invest in the metropolises governed by environmentalists.
It will therefore be in the Ain, a few tens of kilometers from the Metropolis of Lyon. This establishment “will benefit from immediate synergies with the Villeurbanne site and the dynamics carried by the Ambérieu-en-Bugey aeronautical campus”, welcomed the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region.
