Safran's latest $175 million machine will not be operational until 2029.
Safran's 30,000-metric-ton hydraulic press will not be operational until 2029, highlighting severe supply bottlenecks.
KEY POINTS
- The press will add capacity for 14,000 forged engine parts annually, addressing a key industry constraint.
- Current forging and casting shortages directly limit Boeing’s ability to deliver new aircraft to airlines.
- Benefits from Safran’s new press will materialize too late to resolve today’s engine and aircraft backlogs.
- The press will support both LEAP narrowbody and high-thrust widebody programs, complicating capacity allocation decisions.
