"When we started the manufacturing activity in Chihuahua, I never thought about the speed on how the team would be adjusted to the new
business environment. Since everyone came from a wiring manufacturing
background, it was going to be a challenge. With a lot of teamwork and
great support from our team in Sarasota, we started to learn the new
processes with a very high sense of commitment and overcame that
situation very quickly. And here we are now, building the 4th million
piece with high competitiveness and good performance overall," said
Carlos Arvizu, Program Manager.
With over 3,500 employees, the multiple Safran Electrical & Power plants at Chihuahua also create electrical panel assemblies,
harnesses, fiber optics and electrical cabinets. Additionally, Chihuahua
is home to the world's largest aircraft wiring facility, providing 95%
of electrical wiring for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.Switch variations
produced by the facility include EMI/RFI shielded pushbutton,
environmentally sealed, miniature, precision snap action, rocker,
toggle, Wire Terminal Systems (IWTS), switch guards and shields. Switch
options include contact-less, extended-life, snap-action, tapered and
limit switch versions. Performance ranges from logic level to high power
applications
