NEGRI SEMBILAN is set to become an aviation hub following the commissioning of Safran Messier-Bugatti-Dowty’s RM500mil state-of-the-art facility to manufacture carbon brake systems for commercial aircraft in the Sendayan Tech Valley.

The French company, which is the world’s leading supplier of carbon brake systems, is expected to produce about 10,000 units when fully operational in 2017.
