Global investment firm Eurazeo, has sold its stake in Orolia, the Paris-based supplier of position, navigation, and timing (PNT) electronics to Safran Electronics & Defense.
Safran first confirmed it was pursuing the acquisition in December, with the goal of establishing a “world-leading position in all aspects of PNT, inertial navigation, time and GNSS receivers and simulators, covering aerospace, governmental and high integrity applications."
