Pratt & Whitney Opens Component Solutions Facility in Singapore

Pratt & Whitney, a unit of United Technologies Corp., has officially opened its new repair and engineering facility at Singapore’s Seletar Aerospace Park.

The new flagship Pratt & Whitney Component Solutions facility performs certain PW4000 engine component repair and will house various office support departments, including the company’s recently established regional office, and Global Services Engineering – Asia, which provides aftermarket repair design for the company’s businesses in the Asia Pacific region.

The new unit forms part of Pratt & Whitney’s US$110 million investment in Seletar Aerospace Park, where the company is also building a new 180,000 square-foot manufacturing facility to manufacture PurePower engine hybrid aluminum fan blades and high pressure turbine disks.

“This opening marks a major milestone for Pratt & Whitney and demonstrates our commitment to such an important region for our business,” said Pratt & Whitney President, Paul Adams. “Pratt & Whitney is proud of its long-standing presence in Singapore, which continues to grow today thanks to its highly trained, technically skilled workforce, and close proximity to our many customers in the Asia Pacific region.”

Singapore’s Minister for Trade & Industry Lim Hng Kiang, added, “Singapore has been very proud to work closely with Pratt & Whitney for many years. We will continue to support Pratt & Whitney’s drive to deliver dependable engines to the rest of the world. We have had more than 30 years of friendship with Pratt & Whitney, and we look forward to many more.”

The latest investments in Seletar bring Pratt & Whitney’s presence in Singapore to a total of nine businesses, making the island-state home to the company’s most comprehensive aftermarket presence in one location.
