SPIRIT AEROSYSTEMS EXPANDS ENGINEERING CAPABILITIES BY OPENING DESIGN CENTER IN MALAYSIA
The center is equipped with state-of-the-art engineering technology, high-speed networks, and engineering software.
Spirit AeroSystems announced the grand opening of its Engineering Design Center in Subang, Malaysia, which expands the company’s global engineering capabilities, during the opening day of the 2024 Singapore Air Show.
Dr. Sean Black, Spirit AeroSystems' Senior Vice President, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Engineer, said the new centre will allow Spirit to expand engineering services to meet growing customer demand as air travel continues to recover to pre-pandemic levels and higher.
Located in the middle of the Subang factory, the centre has been expanded through two renovation projects to model and furnish space and incorporate soundproofing in the workspace to accommodate new engineering functions for the Malaysia engineering team, including 24-hour engineering service to Spirit factories around the globe.
Black said that Spirit’s engineering team in Malaysia is already a significant player in the design of the A350XWB Section 15 Freighter, A350XWB Ultra Long Range and a key partner to A220 Wing program.
Black added that upgrading engineering capabilities for the company’s Malaysia facility creates future opportunities for Spirit to offer design-and-build capabilities in that region.
