ST Engineering's 2018 order wins hit $3b

It was buoyed by the $479m contract for Jet Airways.

The order win in ST Engineering’s component engine repair and overhaul (CERO) division of its aerospace segment is positive for the firm, RHB analyst Shekhar Jaiswal said. The analyst noted that division recorded high utilisation rates and an uptick in shop visits since late 2017 and 2018.

“We believe the Jet Airways contract will assist the aerospace business to maintain the profitability that it is currently witnessing at its CERO division,” Jaiswal noted.

ST Engineering bagged an additional contract for Jet Airways worth $479m, bringing its maintenance, repair, and overhaul services (MRO) for the airline to $957m.The analyst noted that the said contract brings the firm’s 2018 order wins to $3b, which is $2b short of 2017 record order wins.

In addition, the firm also secured an $18.8m contract together with Siemens to develop and implement a Rail Enterprise Asset Management System (REAMS) for Singapore’s MRT network.

“We believe the order size could get scaled up once more MRT lines are added to REAMS,” the analyst said.

The project awarded by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) will use data analytics capabilities to monitor asset performance and identify potential faults before they occur which will allow pre-emptive assets repair or renewal.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
