Selected in recognition of Siemens' end-to-end aerospace solutions and technical expertise.


Siemens PLM Software announced that Airbus Safran Launchers has selected Siemens PLM Software to innovate its entire product lifecycle process. Through this, Airbus Safran Launchers plans to maximize product quality and efficiency and minimize costs associated with the development and realization of launcher programs.

Airbus Safran Launchers is a joint venture jointly owned by Airbus Defence and Space and Safran, established out of the two companies' aspiration to elevate the European space industry to the highest level. The company develops and supplies innovative solutions for civilian and military space launchers. It generates approximately 2.5 billion euros in revenue and employs over 8,000 qualified professionals in France and Germany.

Airbus Safran Launchers, a new leader in the space business sector, plans to proceed with standardization based on Siemens' integrated aerospace solutions, including utilizing Siemens' Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) software portfolios to establish a common digital product development and implementation platform. Airbus Safran Launchers cited Siemens' end-to-end aerospace industry software solutions and technical expertise as key selection factors.

David Quancard, Chief Operating Officer of Airbus Safran Launchers, said, “We are introducing a new approach to space launch vehicle manufacturing. Siemens presented us with the most challenges regarding our working methods and enabled us to define the company’s PLM solutions and manufacturing needs. From the initial stages of the work to bidding and execution, we benefited greatly from utilizing Siemens’ work methodologies. Siemens provided project management capabilities and software tools that met our requirements. With the adoption of Siemens’ innovative PLM system, they have established themselves as a key partner and helped us successfully achieve the company’s goal of integrating teams and working methods to enhance competitiveness and increase efficiency.”

Airbus Safran Launchers possesses all the capabilities, experience, resources, and innovation necessary to address current and future challenges related to space entry. Airbus Safran Launchers aims to reduce maintenance costs and shorten product development cycles and time-to-market. The newly introduced Siemens system has enabled complete product traceability and improved team collaboration.

David Riemer, Vice President of Aerospace and Defense at Siemens PLM Software, said, “It is meaningful to be working with aerospace industry leaders such as Airbus Safran Launchers. Due to their sophistication, space launch vehicles require a systems-based product development approach.” “This is an approach that combines system engineering with integrated product definition and realization. By joining forces with the leadership team at Airbus Safran Launchers, we expect to create significant value for the aerospace industry and related companies,” he said.
