CNIM Systèmes Industriels and its partners CEFA & SOFRAME, winners of the SYFRALL contract!

The French Armament General Directorate (DGA, Direction générale de l’armement) has just notified the GME consortium comprising CNIM Systèmes Industriels, CEFA and SOFRAME of the SYFRALL (Heavy-Light Crossing System) contract. This contract is part of a framework agreement allowing orders on behalf of and for the account of other Nations, particularly under the European SAFE instrument (Security for Action For Europe).

This equipment will provide engineering regiments with unrivalled ferry and bridge crossing capabilities for the MLC 85T and MLC 100W classes.

The latest version of the PFM has cutting-edge tactical capabilities: it can be crossed by the heaviest vehicles in NATO armies, is easy to build and quick to deploy, and has a reduced logistical footprint.

The partnership between CNIM Systèmes Industriels, CEFA and SOFRAME, formalised at Eurosatory 2024, offers the French Army and the DGA the skills and experience of a 100% French team. CNIM Systèmes Industriels and CEFA will share the manufacture of the bridge components, while SOFRAME will supply the tractor trucks and semi-trailers.

« We would like to thank the DGA and the French Army for their trust. Our teams are proud to equip the French Army’s Engineer Corps with these new crossing capabilities and thus support the development of the French Army for decades to come. We are also ready to equip France’s partner armies with these new capabilities», said the GME.
