GE Aviation invests S$42m in new aircraft engine component facility in Singapore

GE Aviation will invest S$42m in a new facility located in Singapore to manufacture components for its GE9X engine that will power Boeing’s 777X aircraft. This facility will expand GE Aviation’s presence in the country where the company operates a sizable aircraft engine component repair facility. The new 50,000 ft² facility will be located at the Seletar Aerospace Park and produce high pressure compressor (HPC) vanes. The facility is expected to open in late 2018 with an initial workforce of 20 employees and could grow to employ about 100 skilled technicians and engineers by 2020. This facility will grow GE Aviation’s workforce in Singapore beyond the 1,800 employees currently employed at the engine component repair facilities located at Loyang Industrial Park.
