Syrlinks, a leading French NewSpace designer and manufacturer of cutting-edge radio communication and radio navigation solutions, has been acquired by Safran Electronics & Defense.

Founded in 2011, Syrlinks’ systems have been embedded in major space missions, such as Myriad, Rosetta, Argos, OneWeb and Kinéis.

We started this capital restructuring process to strengthen Syrlinks and accelerate our development, especially in the export markets. We appreciate the expertise, availability and responsiveness of the Oaklins team. This process was quite enriching but also intense, so it was important that we were well advised. This partnership with Oaklins in the final phase was decisive for us. GWÉNAËL GUILLOIS & GUY RICHARD, CEO & PRESIDENT, SYRLINKS, FRANCE
