To effect the integration, the various factories and their employees in the four member states that were dedicated to Airbus work were sliced off and taken under the wing of the new organisation – including the two BAE factories at Broughton and Filton. The new "Airbus SAS" that emerged from the integration effort was a single company controlling 16 dedicated factories across France, Germany, Spain and the UK that today employs 55,000 people (including staff at the central entity in the Toulouse headquarters). Of these, 10,000 people (or 18% of the total), are directly employed by Airbus UK.
