ST Engineering Aerospace bagged contracts worth $510m in Q2

Contracts covered heavy maintenance to engine wash and aircraft interior reconfiguration.

ST Engineering’s Aerospace sector secured new contracts worth about $510m in the second quarter of 2018 for services ranging from heavy maintenance to engine wash and aircraft interior reconfiguration.

According to an announcement, the heavy maintenance contracts include an agreement to support a cargo airline in servicing its Boeing 767-300s, whilst the new engine wash contracts will see ST Engineering expanding its trademarked EcoPower® service to three new cities in Europe - Berlin, Milan and Geneva.

ST Engineering’s Aerospace sector also bagged a contract to perform cabin reconfiguration for part of Air Canada’s A330-300 fleet, which was announced in April. The first aircraft is scheduled to be inducted in the third quarter of this year.

The Aerospace sector redelivered a total of 769 aircraft for airframe maintenance and modification work in 2Q2018. Additionally, a total of 10,393 components, 38 landing gears, and 47 engines were processed, whilst 2,392 engine washes were conducted.

ST Engineering also opened a new facility in Pensacola, Florida, USA in June, which at steady state can add another 600,000 labour hours to its global airframe maintenance capacity. The new facility, which received United Parcel Service as its launch customer, is equipped to carry out heavy and line maintenance, as well as aircraft modification work.

ST Engineering also expanded its capacity in composite panel manufacturing with the opening of the second plant in Kodersdorf, Saxony, Germany. The new facility can produce about 200,000 panels per annum, boosting the overall production capacity by approximately 50%.

With the global commercial and cargo aircraft fleet expected to grow strongly over the next 10 years, the new manufacturing plant will augment the existing one in Dresden, Saxony to help meet the rising demand for cabin interior components such as floor panels and cargo compartment linings, the company added.

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.
