The client, DCN Equipements Navals of Ruelle-Sur-Touvre, will then carry out final machining of the driveshaft.

This project comes on the heels of a previous driveshaft produced by SFIL for the French Navy, for their flagship 38,000 ton nuclear powered aircraft carrier, the Charles De Gaulle. Dr Graham Honeyman, Chief Executive at SFIL, said: “We have specialist capacity for producing and machining projects of this size, and as such, SFIL is one of the few companies in the world that can carry out an entire project of this scale under one roof.”

SFIL feeds an increasing global demand for high quality engineered products to key industries such as defence, nuclear, oil and gas exploration, power generation, marine and construction.
