Teijin has been supplying high-performance materials to Safran for the last 25 years. The contract establishes the frame for the supply of Teijin`s high-performance materials dedicated to the manufacturing of equipment parts for new generation aircrafts.

Teijin and Safran intend to reinforce their collaboration to meet the challenges of the aviation market, creating advanced technologies that lower production costs and environmental impact. Teijin may supply Safran with a variety of high-performance materials to manufacture various Safran products used for aircraft applications in commercial, defense industry or for space applications. Some of the first materials supplied to Safran should be manufactured by US-based Renegade Materials Corporation, a prepreg supplier specialized in high temperature resistant resin and safe, non-toxic polyimide prepreg materials, which Teijin acquired in 2019.

Safran Vice President, Materials Purchasing, Thierry Viguier, stated, “The signature of this master agreement materializes the growing relation between Safran and Teijin. Safran expects to reach new steps in aeronautical equipment performance and competitiveness, thanks to the innovation capacity of Teijin in high-performance materials."
