3 biggest feats of ST Engineering's aerospace arm this year

Deals and acquisitions fuel growth.

According to DBS, ST Engineering closed the quarter with S$12.7bn orderbook. YTD in FY13, STE has announced close to S$2.65bn worth of new contracts. On the Aerospace front, STE continued to expand capabilities in Aerospace with three new initiatives.

These are i) long-term agreements with UTC Aerospace Systems to provide B787 component MRO, ii) enhancing B757 PTF solutions, and iii) acquisition of Turbo Mach to expand suite of cabin interior services. Shiprepair operations in the US are also expected to start in 4Q.

Here's more from DBS:

Overall PBT margins improved sequentially to 11.9% in 2Q13 from 10.5% in 1Q13, driven by improvements in all segments.

Aerospace recorded healthy PBT margins of 16.3%, driven by higher airframe revenue and better MRO rates achieved during the quarter, especially at the US operations, according to management.

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.
