Spirit AeroSystems has officially opened its new logistics warehouse at its manufacturing operations in Subang, Malaysia. The 50,000-ft² facility will accommodate increasing volumes of assembly work on aerostructure components for commercial airliners.
The expansion will free up other manufacturing space and improve the site's capacity to rapidly build complex aerostructures for high-rate production programs at competitive cost.
The new warehouse is adjacent to other buildings on Spirit's campus in the Malaysia International Aerospace Centre near Kuala Lumpur. The building and its supporting infrastructure have been designed with future expansion in mind, giving the company flexibility to eventually add another 75,000 ft² of warehousing space.
