[Safran Landing Systems](https://www.safran-group.com/companies/safran-landing-systems?ref=southeastasiaconnect.com) inaugurated an aircraft-brake repair centre in Nilai on 28 October alongside the €134 million expansion of its carbon-brake factory in nearby Sendayan, Malaysia.

The new Nilai centre is a 1,000-square-metre maintenance, repair and overhaul site near Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Safran puts its investment there at €2 million and says the site is about 20 kilometres from Sendayan, which supplies it with new and refurbished carbon-brake discs.

## Factory expansion and future capacity

At Sendayan, the €134 million project adds 7,000 square metres for textile production, carbonisation and machining. Safran says the expansion is intended to double its carbon-brake disc production capacity by 2028.

Safran says its Malaysian operations currently employ 160 people and that it aims to reach 220 by 2030\. It describes the wider brake-production and service footprint as serving the needs of about 100 airline operators in Asia-Pacific.
