Hispano-Suiza

Hispano-Suiza was an originally Spanish-Swiss luxury automotive and engineering firm — actually, from 1923 on, two different companies — best known for their cars, engines (including world famous aviation engines) and weapons designs in the pre-World War II period. Today they are part of the French SAFRAN Group, while the Spanish company in 1946 sold all their automotive assets to Enasa, the maker of Pegaso trucks and sport cars.

Control systems for the SaM146 and TP400-D6.
Power transmissions for the new Rolls-Royce BR725 engine and the Eurocopter EC175 helicopter.
New applications for the FADEC 3 control unit (developed jointly with BAE Systems), and development of the control unit for the Superjet 100’s landing gear.

275 new employees added in 2007, reflecting a dynamic company on the move worldwide. In three years, their Polish plant has doubled in size to become a pillar of their industrial organization, while Hispano-Suiza Canada has completed its transformation, making it a recognized supplier of electronic control units for business aircraft.

In 2007, Hispano-Suiza filed for 29 patents in France, and their R&D efforts on “more electric” aircraft further bolstered their leadership position within SAFRAN and in the aviation industry in general.
