ST Engineering to transfer MRO business to Florida, Texas

This move will consolidate operations of its subsidiary in the US.

ST Engineering’s Commercial Aerospace business will move its airframe Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) operations from Mobile, Alabama to its facilities in Pensacola, Florida and San Antonio, Texas.

This initiative will consolidate operations from its unit, VT Mobile Aerospace Engineering, Inc. (VT MAE) to the rest of its US network.

The transition is estimated to take place progressively over the next few months.

In addition, the business will work with the local communities including the state, city, landlord and industry partners for a smooth transition.

“This strategic move is part of our continuous network optimisation effort to streamline our operations while adding newer and more modern facilities under ongoing expansion plans. With a more optimised network, we can enhance the competitiveness of our airframe MRO business,” Jeffrey Lam, president of Commercial Aerospace at ST Engineering said.
