Its story : 

Since acquiring DUONS PRN's activities in 2011, FACTEM has centered its strategy on innovation. Investing over 12% of its revenue in Research & Development, FACTEM expanded its innovative solutions. After the initial design of the circumaural EF7 headset, mainly for general aviation, FACTEM aimed to broaden its range, targeting the national and international airline market.

In 2018, FACTEM signed a supply contract with AIRBUS, becoming a Tier 1 supplier for the aircraft manufacturer and formalized the partnership at the 2019 Paris Air Show. FL20 headsets are tested, validated, and endorsed by Airbus across its programs. The FL20 is also used by several airlines on BOEING aircraft (777 and 787).

Ramping up production : 

Currently, around forty airlines worldwide are equipped with FACTEM's FL20 headsets, including the national carrier AIR FRANCE, as well as EASY JET and EMIRATES. With a production capacity of 10,000 FL20 headsets per year, FACTEM continues its export-driven growth.

Starting January 1, 2024, FACTEM offers preferential rates on FL20 headsets to all airline pilots upon presentation of valid identification. Contact us now at the following email address: [email protected]
