Messier-Dowty (Safran subsidiary in France)
Since 2002, Messier-Dowty has had a production facility in Suzhou that supplies medium landing-gear structural components to Boeing (including for the 787), Airbus (in particular, for the A320), Bombar-dier, Dassault, and Hawker Beechcraft (“Operations—Suzhou”).
Rolls-Royce (U.K.)
Rolls-Royce’s joint-venture production facilities at Xi’an supply turbine-nozzle guide vanes and low-pressure turbine blades for Rolls-Royce engines. Several Chinese-owned enterprises are also important sup-pliers to Rolls-Royce: Sichuan Chengfa Aero Science and Technology supplies rings, sheet metal, and fabrications; Beijing Aero Lever Preci-sion supplies variable stator vane levers; Shenyang Liming Aero-Engine Group Corp. produces heat-shield rings for the BR700 series engines; and Xi’an Aero Engines Co. supplies other unspecified components. In July 2010, Rolls-Royce reportedly invested RMB4.3 billion to estab-lish a new production plant in Shenyang to supply key components, including stub axles and engine valves for the company’s new Trent XWB engine (“Rolls-Royce: Procurement in China to Increase Three- to Four-fold over the Next Five-to-Eight Years,” 2010).
According to company executives, Rolls-Royce expects to expand procurement in China three- to four-fold over the next five to eight years, reaching approximately $1.2 billion annually from a current level of $250 million (“Rolls-Royce: Procurement in China to Increase Three- to Four-fold over the Next Five-to-Eight Years,” 2010).
Safran-Aviation
The Safran Group’s industrial cooperation with China dates back to the early 1980s, when Safran’s predecessor, Sagem, transferred autopi-lot technology to AVIC’s Lanzhou plant for the Z-9 helicopter. Small-scale local production of aerospace-engine parts began in 1990 (“Safran History in China”). In 2002, Safran component Messier-Dowty estab-lished a wholly owned manufacturing plant in Suzhou, initially spe-cializing in medium structural components for Messier-Dowty’s busi-ness and regional jet programs. Since then, production has expanded to include work share on the A320 and the 787 (“Operations—Suzhou”). In late 2005, Safran component Snecma established a wholly owned production facility in Suzhou. The facility specializes in the production of turbine and compressor shafts, LP turbine guide vanes (second stage) and LP turbine rings (first stage), as well as the assembly of Module 13 for the CFM56-5B and CFM56-7B engines (“Worldwide—Snecma Suzhou”). In 2008, the Messier-Dowty and the Snecma plants both moved into a new shared facility in Suzhou.

In December 2009, AVIC subsidiary XAIC acquired a 91.25-percent share of FACC, for an undisclosed amount. FACC supplies the interior cabin components for the COMAC ARJ-21 and C919 airliners. This was the largest acquisition by a Chinese enterprise in central Europe and reportedly also the first Chinese acquisition of a European aero-space manufacturer. Xi’an plans to establish a composite-materials R&D center built around Fischer in Europe, while setting up produc-tion facilities in China to take advantage of China’s low labor costs (“Xi’an Aircraft Acquires Austrian Company FACC,” 2009, p. 10).
