European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.

In France, the company plans to open nearly 2,000 positions in 2025 Safran 2025-FR . The company recruits employees mainly for technical and engineering profiles. Additionally, Safran offers around 5,000 internships and apprenticeships across the country.
In Morocco, about 600 new jobs are expected to be created at its new LEAP engine maintenance and assembly facilities near Casablanca. Over the next five years, Safran is to hire about 2,000 new employees as part of a broader strategy to increase production capacity and support global engine programmes across the country.
In India, Safran will launch a new engine maintenance, repair and overhaul unit in Hyderabad dedicated to Rafale fighter jet engines. By the end of 2025, the investment will bring around 150 jobs, with potential for up to 750 additional positions in later phases.
The business expansion is linked to Safran's strategy to secure long-term growth, optimise its global industrial footprint, and respond to rising demand in the aerospace and defence sectors.
