Safran Aircraft Engines Morocco

Safran Aircraft Engines Morocco functions as a Tier 1 production facility within the global Safran propulsion division. Located in the Nouaceur aerospace hub near Casablanca, the plant specialises in the precision machining and assembly of critical engine components. It serves as a regional manufacturing node that integrates Moroccan industrial capacity into the international aero-engine supply chain, focusing on the transition from legacy engine architectures to next-generation narrow-body propulsion systems. The facility is a primary manufacturing site for components utilised in the CFM LEAP engine family, supporting the global production rates of the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX programmes. It operates in direct coordination with Safran's European centres of excellence and maintains a long-standing partnership with the Moroccan government to develop local technical aerospace expertise. The site provides high-volume parts manufacturing for both the LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B variants. Prospective partners should verify the specific scope of industrial certifications held at the Casablanca site, including EN9100 standards and specific OEM process approvals. Procurement officers should distinguish between the site's machining capabilities and the maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services provided by separate Safran joint ventures in the region. Availability of local raw material sourcing versus imported feedstock should also be confirmed.
