Company
Peterborough, Ontario
What they offer: Aerospace electronic and control-system manufacturing
Woodward acquired Safran Electronics & Defense Canada, and Woodward's controlled supplier documentation identifies the Canadian successor as Woodward Canada Inc. The operating fields below separately document the bounded Peterborough activity.
Last reviewed Aug 29, 2026
Decision snapshot
Woodward Canada provides a current Canadian route to aerospace electronic and control-system manufacturing and support from Peterborough. That may be relevant to aircraft-control, embedded-electronics and sustainment discussions, but public evidence does not establish the Canadian site's workshare across Woodward's full global portfolio. A useful next conversation is to identify the platform, control-board configuration, certification basis and Canadian production or support scope required.
See all reviewed connectionsMission area
Aircraft control boards and embedded control systems could enable actuation or vehicle-control functions in autonomous patrol platforms, but no public source reviewed here identifies a specific autonomous platform or Canadian integration.
Organization context
Woodward Canada's public operating evidence centres on embedded aerospace electronics, aircraft control-board manufacturing and service support from Peterborough. It should not be presented as proof that the Canadian site delivers every navigation, optronics or mission-system product formerly associated with Safran globally.
Woodward lists its Canadian aerospace operation in Peterborough, Ontario; Ontario's operating approval identifies 2000 Fisher Drive as the aircraft-control-board manufacturing site, and Woodward's support directory identifies CAGE code L8794.
