What they do
Their core work
Zodiac Galleys Europe is an aircraft galley and cabin equipment manufacturer based in Plzeň, Czech Republic, operating as part of the former Zodiac Aerospace group (now Safran Cabin). They design and produce galley systems, cabin rest areas, and interior components for large commercial aircraft. Their H2020 involvement centers on Clean Sky 2 demonstrator programs, contributing specialized cabin equipment expertise to next-generation aircraft integration efforts.

Evolution & trajectory
How they've shifted over time
Early focus
Aircraft galley supply
Recent focus
Advanced cabin and fuselage integration
Early participation (2014-2019) was through the LPA GAM 2018 demonstrator as a third party, suggesting an initial supplier role contributing galley hardware to a large integration program. From 2017 onward, they stepped up to direct participant status in CRiSTA, taking on a more defined R&D role in multifunctional crew rest areas. The most recent GAM-2020-LPA project shows continued involvement in large aircraft demonstrators with expanded scope covering advanced cabin design and fuselage integration.
Moving from pure equipment supply toward co-development of integrated, multifunctional cabin systems for next-generation aircraft platforms.
Collaboration profile
How they like to work
Role: third_party_expertReach: European13 countries collaborated
Zodiac Galleys Europe operates primarily as a third-party contributor or specialist participant within very large Clean Sky 2 consortia — their projects involve 77 unique partners across 13 countries. They have never coordinated an H2020 project, consistent with their role as an industrial supplier embedded in major demonstrator programs led by aircraft OEMs. This makes them a reliable, low-friction partner for large aerospace integration projects where cabin expertise is needed.
Connected to 77 consortium partners across 13 countries through Clean Sky 2 demonstrator programs, giving them a broad European aerospace network despite their specialist role. Their reach spans the major Western European aerospace hubs.
Why partner with them
What sets them apart
As a Czech-based aircraft cabin equipment manufacturer within the Zodiac/Safran ecosystem, they bring production-grade galley and cabin interior capabilities to R&D consortia — bridging the gap between design concepts and manufacturable hardware. Their CRiSTA participation shows they can contribute beyond standard supply, taking on focused R&D tasks in multifunctional cabin components. For consortium builders, they offer hands-on manufacturing expertise for cabin subsystems that many research-heavy partners lack.
