Headquartered in White Plains, New York (USA), Safe Flight is a leading designer and manufacturer of proprietary aerospace electronic products and systems with its products installed on nearly two-thirds of the world’s aircraft, the company says.

With over eighty-five percent of Loar’s sales coming from innovative and proprietary products we are uniquely positioned to solve problems for our customers,” continued Charles. Loar Group’s acquisition of Safe Flight creates a partnership that allows Safe Flight to continue serving its existing customers while providing additional growth capital and human resources to meet expanded future customer needs.
