ST Engineering’s Commercial Aerospace business advanced its position as a leading global engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) provider with the official opening of a new engine MRO facility in Singapore today. The ceremony was officiated by Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong.
The new multimillion-dollar facility, an expansion of ST Engineering’s engine MRO operations, is located within its existing aerospace compound in Paya Lebar, Singapore. The expansion will allow its Commercial Aerospace business to progressively double its capacity for CFM56 and LEAP engine maintenance to over 300 engines annually by 2027. When combined with its engine MRO facility in Xiamen, China, the planned capacity across both locations will exceed 400 engine shop visits a year. Concurrent with capacity expansion, ST Engineering is broadening its services to include performance restoration and full overhaul shop visits for both LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines to better meet growing demands.
Through this expansion, ST Engineering is expected to create over 300 new high-value jobs for its engine MRO operations in Singapore, while leveraging advanced technologies such as AI-enabled hardware sorters and automated cleaning systems to boost the efficiency of its engine MRO operations.
