6 biggest feats of ST Engineering's aerospace arm so far

China expansion is underway.

According to DBS, through a series of tie ups and acquisitions, ST Aerospace is enhancing its capabilities to offer higher value-added services and widen its suite of services to global clients. Capacity expansion in Guangzhou ready by late 2013 and an engine workshop in Xiamen will tap on opportunities in China. 

DBS noted some of the key initiatives undertaken by ST Aerospace:

1) Expanding hangar capacity in Changi and Guangzhou; 2) Completed 35% investment in EADS Efw – commenced A330 P2F engineering development phase; 3) Acquired DRB Aviation and Volant Aerospace to build capabilities in cabin retrofitting;

4) Co-developed new long-haul economy seat with Japanese aircraft seat manufacturer Tenryu Aero Component; 5) Expanded its engine wash business with acquisition of EcoServices; 6) Formed JV with Marubeni to offer narrow-body aircraft engine leasing solutions.

Here's more from DBS:

The most significant acquisition is its 35% stake in EADS EFW costing S$110m which will serve as ST Aerospace’s European MRO centre, and as a springboard to develop the A330 Passenger to Freighter capability with Airbus. This will add to its track record of PTF capabilities – MD11, B767-300, and B757-200.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
