Safran Electrical & Power was granted the prestigious Airbus Best Performer Award at the Airbus Supplier Awards ceremony held in Tianjin, China, on September 20.

The company was rewarded for its tremendous improvement in programme management and in solving all kinds of technical issues, as well as for establishing an open relationship built on trust and one in which commitments are honoured.

This award, endorsed by the executive committee of Airbus, acknowledges Safran’s top-level performance and engagement. Earlier in 2017, Safran Electrical & Power also received the Gold Supplier prize and the Best Improver award for Aerolec – a joint venture (60-40) between Safran Electrical and Thales – from the Airbus SQIP team, which recognises excellence in delivery and quality performance.

The expected results were achieved through effort and teamwork, recording, to date, 100 per cent on-time delivery (OTD) over the past 20 months and a quality performance maintained above the Airbus target over the same period.

“This ‘Best Performer Award’ is a great honour. We now have to make sure we keep up the good work, and strengthen all the processes to ensure that what we have achieved is maintained in the months and years ahead,” said president, Safran Electrical & Power, Alain Sauret.

All Safran Electrical & Power employees, and in particular from the Power division, which is largely considered as the driving force of the recovery plan, can be proud of their engagement and achievement. And this award is the proof of that,” said vice president & GM Power, Safran Electrical & Power, Hervé Blanc.
