ST Engineering's arm sealed a whopping $480m contracts

It has also bagged deals from 4 airlines.

In a release, Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd today announced that its aerospace arm, Singapore Technologies Aerospace Ltd has sealed new contracts worth about $480m in the first quarter of 2013.

The contracts are for airframe, component and engine maintenance, as well as engineering and development, which will be carried out through its global maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) network.

A total of 180 aircraft were redelivered for airframe maintenance and modification work in the first quarter of 2013. This is in addition to the five Boeing 757-200 freighters converted through its MRO network.

Besides airframe redeliveries, ST Aerospace processed 15,161 components, 72 landing gears and 60 engines for both commercial and military customers.

Gaining momentum in the cabin configuration business, ST Aerospace has secured contracts and letters of intent with four airlines, to provide cabin reconfiguration solutions for a total of six Airbus A330-343 and 31 Boeing 767-300 aircraft.

At the same time, ST Aerospace has co-developed a new long-haul economy aircraft seat with Japanese aircraft seat manufacturer Tenryu Aer Component, as it extends into cabin interior product manufacturing. Named ‘Ergo’, the ergonomically designed seat boasts optimal comfort and a relaxing space for airline passengers.

The seats will be featured at the Aircraft Interiors Expo 2013 from 9 to 11 April in Hamburg, Germany.

ST Aerospace is stepping up its participation in the engine leasing business. Its wholly owned subsidiary, ST Aerospace Engines, has injected additional capital into its 50%-owned associate company, Total Engines Asset Management, bringing its total share capital contribution to US$8.21m (S$10.15m).

It has also expanded its customer base by securing new engine leasing contracts during the quarter.

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.
