A year after its official inauguration, Messier-Bugatti-Dowty’s new plant in Sendayan, Malaysia delivered its first heat sink to AirAsia, for use on the Airbus A320. The heat sink is a stack of carbon disks comprising the airplane’s brake. Messier-Bugatti-Dowty chose Malaysia to set up its new carbon disk production and refurbishment plant in this region, which has a fast-growing fleet of commercial airplanes. The plant is specialized in the supply of carbon disks for commercial airplane brakes. It spans some 10,000 m² (108,000 ft²) and has 80 employees, with plans to expand to 150 by 2018. Sendayan is an ideal complement to Messier-Bugatti-Dowty’s existing carbon disk facilities, both in France (Villeurbanne and Molsheim) and in the United States (Walton, Kentucky). Messier-Bugatti-Dowty now supplies 18 operators in Malaysia, with a total of 200 aircraft already in service and another 400 on order. More than 2,000 airplanes in Asia already use Messier-Bugatti-Dowty carbon brakes.
