In the face of critical aerospace engine component repair
capacity constraints within the aerospace industry, Barnes
Aerospace is excited to announce that it has added a new component
repair facility in Singapore. Barnes Aerospace’s component repair
capacity to support customers’ needs in the region will increase,
as does the facility footprint by approximately 50%.
This strategic expansion marks a significant milestone for
Barnes Aerospace as it enhances its capacity to provide
cutting-edge aerospace engine component repair services in the
heart of the Asia-Pacific region. The expansion is underpinned by a
technology investment program which permits additional overhaul and
repairs of complex high-value fabricated engine cases. Eager
customers are already engaging to secure attractive repair
capacities with Barnes Aerospace, a globally trusted partner.
Strategically located in Singapore's thriving aerospace hub,
JTC’s Seletar Aerospace Park, the new facility represents a
substantial investment in advancing Barnes Aerospace's capabilities
and adding to its existing manufacturing as well as maintenance,
repair and overhaul (MRO) footprint in Singapore. The expansion is
designed to meet the growing demands of the aerospace industry and
strengthen Barnes Aerospace's position as a key player in engine
component repair and maintenance.
The additional working space, capital improvements and new
equipment will support aerospace engine casing, knife edge seals
and honeycomb repairs and has additional space for further
growth.
Ms Lim Ai Ting, Director for Aerospace & Marine Cluster,
JTC, said, “Adding to the established base of MRO players in
Seletar Aerospace Park, Barnes Aerospace’s expansion is another
milestone for us as it not only increases MRO capacities, but it
also reinforces our position as the leading MRO hub in the region.
We remain dedicated to supporting the success and growth of
businesses, bolstering our vibrant aerospace ecosystem in
Singapore.”
Barnes Aerospace also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
with the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) to facilitate
this expansion.
“We welcome the expansion by Barnes Aerospace, which further
solidifies Singapore as a global node for aerospace manufacturing
as well as maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO). Our aerospace
industry is experiencing strong growth as companies expand their
operations here to support the recovery in air travel. EDB will
continue to partner with aerospace companies on their growth plans
to create good job opportunities for Singaporeans,” said Cindy Koh,
Executive Vice President of EDB.
“We are excited to add capacity to help address critical
capacity bottlenecks for our loyal customers amid the resurgence of
commercial flight demand,” said Ian Reason, Senior Vice President,
Barnes and President, Barnes Aerospace. “Our presence in Singapore
will continue to foster collaboration among Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs) and signify our long-term vision for the
Asia-Pacific region. We’re committed to building a robust
infrastructure and a talented workforce to support the thriving
aerospace industry.”
With a strong heritage in the component repair and Aftermarket
sector, Barnes Aerospace is well-positioned to promptly deliver
resilient support amid the growing demands of aerospace OEMs and
Operators. Barnes Aerospace’s existing footprint in Singapore
includes 51,000 square feet at the Loyang MRO facility and 140,000
square feet at our Changi North Crescent manufacturing
facilities.
