A hub of activity
We have established key manufacturing and supply chain activities across South East Asia
Closer than ever
Asia Pacific is one of the fastest growing regions for Rolls-Royce. We have been expanding our manufacturing and supply chain presence to meet demand, bringing us closer to our growing customer base.
Our manufacturing activity supports our growing order book by increasing our global engine production capacity. It is this significant manufacturing presence that drives the need for a strong and competitive regional supply chain.
A manufacturing powerhouse in the heart of Asia
Opened in 2012, the Rolls-Royce Seletar Campus in Singapore significantly increases our engine production capacity and provides us better access to our growing customer base in the region.
The Seletar Campus has provided a “series of firsts” for both Asia and Rolls-Royce. It is the first Trent aero engine assembly and test facility in the region, as well as the first facility outside of the United Kingdom to manufacture our industry-leading hollow titanium wide chord fan blades.
Delivering power with an extensive supply chain
Our strategy is to create a strong, competitive global supply chain to support the growth of our manufacturing activities in the region
With this focus and through our long-standing business relationships, we have helped to build the largest aero engine supply base in Thailand.
Leistritz and Senior Aerospace support the manufacture of compressor blades for Trent engines and Triumph Structures provide the Trent 700 fan case lining. In 2016, Senior Aerospace expanded to include a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Thailand which will give them the necessary capacity to deliver components for our Trent XWB engine as part of a 10 year agreement.
In 2015, we signed a 25 year agreement with aerospace engine component manufacturer UMW Aerospace Sdn. Bhd. to build and assemble fan cases for our Trent 1000 and Trent 7000 aero engines. This landmark partnership supports our world-class, competitive global supply chain, bringing us closer to customers in Asia.
In 2017 UMW delivered their first made in Malaysia Trent 1000 fan case to the Rolls-Royce Seletar campus in Singapore.
