Leading maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility in
Singapore supports 747 operators in the Asia Pacific region and
worldwide with global aftermarket strategy
Parker Aerospace, a business segment of Parker Hannifin
Corporation (NYSE:PH), the global leader in motion and control
technologies, today announced plans for its Singapore-based joint
venture company, Aerospace Component Engineering Services (ACE
Services), to become a global center of excellence for the Boeing
747-400 and 747-800 flight controls. Working with the Parker
Aerospace Control Systems Division and Customer Support Operations
to expand its flight control support capabilities, ACE Services now
supports maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) for the 747-400
and plans to fully assume MRO for the 747-800 in the third quarter
of 2019.
In 2005 Parker Aerospace partnered with SIA Engineering Company
to form ACE Services, a hydraulics repair facility specializing in
the repair of aircraft hydromechanical products, including both
Parker and non-Parker equipment. The joint venture facility was the
first independent hydraulic repair service center in the region
capable of providing hydraulic testing services up to 5,000 psi for
technologically advanced aircraft such as the Boeing 787 and Airbus
A380.
“Since its inception, ACE Services has broadened its expertise
to include the repair and overhaul of flight control components to
better meet the needs of its international airline and other MRO
customers in the Pacific Rim,” said Brian Hunter, general manager
of ACE Services. “With the expertise we have gained over years
supporting Asia Pacific customers operating 747 aircraft, it is a
natural transition to become Parker’s global center of excellence
so that customers can benefit from the best-in-class support for
which ACES is known.”
Parker Aerospace is the original equipment manufacturer for the
flight control systems of the Boeing 747-400 and 747-800 aircraft.
While Parker Aerospace ramps up production for OEM flight control
components, its Control Systems Division (CSD) will simultaneously
begin shifting all of its U.S. repair and overhaul support of
Boeing 747 products from its Ogden, Utah, facility to the ACE
Services facility in Singapore.
“This planned strategy will enable ACE Services to support major
Boeing 747 operators on a more global scale by transforming our
world-class repair center into a more comprehensive center of
excellence,” commented Vic Jorcyk, Parker Aerospace Customer
Support Operations vice president, commercial aftermarket. “Adding
this latest level of integration will allow us to combine our
expanding technical expertise with complete supply chain management
to bring fleet management service to the highest possible
level.”
All future Parker-manufactured components for the 747 will now
be overhauled and repaired by ACE Services in Singapore. ACE
Services currently maintains a large stock of rotable assets to
support aircraft on ground (AOG) and exchange services.
