It will maintain dual production capabilities at Bedok and Seletar sites as part of its multiyear transition plan
DEFENCE product manufacturer Collins Aerospace on Wednesday (Jul 24) said it relocated its manufacturing facility to a new US$250 million site at Seletar Aerospace Park from Bedok. The move is expected to boost its aerospace production capabilities.
The new facility will begin construction in the fourth quarter of 2025 and is projected to be completed by 2027. Production at its new site will commence in 2028.
It will support the design, development and production of aerospace components.
The aviation company, through a multiyear transition plan, will maintain dual production capabilities at both the Bedok and Seletar facilities.
Collins Aerospace’s website indicated that the Bedok plant currently manufactures advanced technology aerospace components and gears for Hamilton Sundstrand constant speed drives – which are generators commonly found in aircraft engines.
Executive vice-president of the Republic’s Economic Development Board Cindy Koh said that the move is a good example of how it is “partnering with leading aerospace companies on their long-term growth”.
The company’s Singapore location is the regional headquarters for the Asia-Pacific, with more than 2,000 employees providing maintenance, repair and overhaul services, as well as manufacturing, sales and marketing.
Collins supplies products to planemakers such as Boeing and Airbus.
Seletar Aerospace Park, on the other hand, is home to more than 70 aviation industry players – which includes GE Aviation and Bombardier.
