Safran Defense & Space, Inc.
Safran Defense & Space Inc., a global leader in aerospace and defense innovation, has expanded to Parker, Colorado where it will have its central hub for its U.S. space-related operations. With a presence in over 30 countries, Safran is known for advancing the frontiers of technology—and now, the company is bringing that vision to life locally.
“This is our space hub,” Joe Bogosian, CEO of Safran Defense & Space Inc. explained. “Anything that we have today will be coming here, if it's space related. We’ll start off with a propulsion system coming off the line here, and then we’ll keep going from there.” This move positions Parker at the heart of a cutting-edge industry, producing critical spaceflight technologies and systems.
The decision to locate in Parker followed a national site search. “In the conversations that we were having over many months, looking around the country…Douglas County, and absolutely Parker became an obvious choice.” Parker’s skilled workforce, infrastructure, and strong community support made it the ideal environment for Safran’s next phase of growth.
Safran’s new facility is expected to generate a wide range of highly skilled jobs—from assembly to design, development, testing, and quality assurance. Beyond the business impact, Safran is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen. The company actively supports local initiatives, particularly in STEM education and veterans’ programs. “We invest in the community. We are very much dedicated to innovation, self-disruption, getting to the future and delivering the future technology today.”
Safran’s expansion into Parker highlights the town’s growing importance in the aerospace sector.
