EXPANDING CARBON BRAKE OFFER ACROSS THE ENTIRE PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE
One month later, on October 28, 2026, the company held a dual inauguration in Malaysia:
> The expansion of its Sendayan site, which specializes in manufacturing carbon brake discs and replacing heat sinks* for the main Airbus, Boeing, and ATR aircraft families. The 7,000 m² expansion houses new, state-of-the-art industrial equipment: a textile line, carbonization and densification furnaces, and machining centers. Thanks to this investment, Sendayan will be able to double its current production capacity by 2028.
*Heat sinks: the set of carbon discs that forms the core of the brake.
> The opening of a new MRO shop dedicated to carbon brakes in Nilai. With this 1,000 m shop, Safran Landing Systems is establishing its own carbon brake maintenance capability in the region, complementing its local partners. Up to 1,000 brakes can be repaired there annually, along with an equal number of heat stack replacements.
The event brought together more than 100 airline customers and Malaysian officials representing the State of Negeri Sembilan and MIDA*, as well as the French ambassador. They were welcomed by François Bastin (President of Safran Landing Systems) and Philippe Errera (Safran's Director of International Development and Government Relations).
