Sep. 2016, Singapore Component Solutions (SCS) received its first certification from the EASA. This meant that Sabena technics could officially inaugurate its component repair workshop for ATRs, located in the aeronautics cluster of Seletar Aerospace Park, Singapore. When AFI KLM E&M acquired a stake in the company in 2018, the Group brought its expertise in A320 and A330 aircraft into the fold: this began a new operational chapter for SCS, as it opened 800 part numbers in 18 months for these two aircraft types. In total, the joint venture has developed over 200 product families for a vast range of avionic, mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic components.
Growth capacity
Singapore Component Solutions’ facilities have expanded from 1200 m² to 4500 m² and employing almost 60 people. In just three years of existence, the joint venture has obtained certificates from 10 authorities in Europe, the USA and the Asia-Pacific region. It is currently going through the implementation phase with Chinese authorities, and is on course to obtain AS9110 certification in 2020.
As Thibaut Campion, CEO of Singapore Component Solutions, recalls, “We were able to count on the teams, who showed real enthusiasm and hunger to succeed. Their commitment went hand in hand with sustained support from our parent companies, whether it was in development, training or quality oversight. We were able to make rapid progress, and today no less than 3,500 components come out of the workshop every year.”
