ST Engineering has officially opened a new engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility in Paya Lebar, Singapore, marking a significant expansion of its Commercial Aerospace business. This multimillion-dollar facility is set to double the company’s capacity for CFM56 and LEAP engine maintenance to over 300 engines annually by 2027. Combined with its Xiamen, China facility, the total capacity will exceed 400 engine shop visits per year.
The expansion not only aims to meet the growing demand for engine maintenance but also to create over 300 high-value jobs in Singapore. The facility will leverage advanced technologies, including AI-enabled hardware sorters and automated cleaning systems, to enhance operational efficiency.
Jeffrey Lam, President of Commercial Aerospace at ST Engineering, stated, “This expansion reflects our commitment to staying ahead of industry demand and delivering the highest standards in engine MRO.”
In addition to increasing capacity, ST Engineering is broadening its services to include performance restoration and full overhaul shop visits for LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines. This move is expected to better serve the needs of airlines as they expand and renew their fleets.
