Posted on by

Vector Aerospace UK (Vector - http://www.vectoraerospace.com/), a leading provider of aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services has selected Atkins Global as a collaborative partner in producing a Safety Management System (SMS) which will enhance the support of its operating processes.

"We are looking to optimise and widen our current practices to ensure that we have a single, flexible and appropriate approach to Safety Management across all areas and locations of our business,"said Chris Hosking, Quality Director at Vector Aerospace. "We see SMS as something more fundamental to the way we operate than mere compliance; it is integral to how we work and correlates with the company's core values in terms of the responsible behaviours and culture which we have historically cultivated."

The SMS will build upon the company's successful pre-existing strategies, such as its 'Quality & Safety 1st'campaign, which have helped to place health & safety, airworthiness and flight safety at the centre of all that it does.

"The 'Quality & Safety 1st' improvement campaign was introduced last year and has already delivered tangible results. During the year 2012-13 the number of hours lost due to accidents fell by 15% and our recent recognition by the International Safety Awards - where our Fleetlands facility secured a Merit for health & safety management excellence - proves that we are building upon strong foundations,"said Chris Hosking.

Atkins Global was selected on account of its unique perspective of best practice regarding SMS. Drawing on experience from the Oil & Gas, Rail and Nuclear industries as well as from within Military and Civil Aviation sectors, the company offered a distinctive proposition; one acclimatised to the high standards of Vector Aerospace UK.

"We are very pleased to be working with Vector Aerospace to help them optimise their safety management,"said Kevin Keen Senior Safety Consultant at Atkins Global."Vector Aerospace has an enviable reputation in the aerospace deep repair, maintenance and overhaul domain and it remains an important part of the UK's aerospace and industrial landscape. It is great to see them taking the initiative by further enhancing their status as a respected operator against an agreed framework of systems, policies and procedures."

Honeywell Aerospace to Expand its Presence in Puerto Rico With a New High-tech Laboratory

Posted on by

Moca, PR The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and Honeywell Aerospace announced today an agreement to establish a new electromagnetic compatibility and environmental test laboratory in Puerto Rico. This new lab will support the main capabilities of its global aerospace and defense operation in the areas of app and software development and aeronautics engineering design.

Honeywells expansion will create high-quality jobs for the western region of Puerto Rico, as well as new infrastructure that will secure Puerto Rico at the forefront of the aerospace and engineering segments. But the implications of this announcement are more profound. The expansion of Honeywell Aerospace represents an important achievement for our economic development strategy that seeks to diversify Puerto Ricos industrial base, said governor Alejandro Garca Padilla.

The laboratory will be built in a 73,000 square-feet facility at Las Amricas Technology Park in the municipality of Moca, located in the northwestern region of the island where other important investments in the aerospace sector are taking place. The investment in construction, equipment and training is estimated in $35M. Construction will start in the third quarter of 2014 and operations are expected to begin by third quarter of 2015. The development of the lab has the potential to create several new jobs.

This is an exciting time for Honeywell Aerospace and our employees, said Tim Mahoney, President and CEO of Honeywell Aerospace. Honeywells investment in the new lab will help us continue to design products that meet the increasingly complex needs of todays aircraft. It is clear that Puerto Rico is becoming an important part of the aerospace industry.

For the expansion, the Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company (PRIDCO) will provide incentives for job creation, infrastructure and lease. We are thrilled with the results that the aerospace cluster strategy is driving to Puerto Rico in terms of economic development and growth, added Antonio Medina Comas, Executive Director of PRIDCO. This announcement comes just two weeks after Lufthansa Technik and the Commonwealth formalized an agreement to establish a major MRO operation in Aguadilla. Also, early this year Infosys - which is another key player in the aerospace sector - announced its arrival to the island with an outsourcing operation in the same region. All these projects reflect that the industrial development strategy to provide a more diversified economy is producing the expected results.

This will be Honeywells second Aerospace site in Puerto Rico, complementing its already successful operation in Aguadilla. Honeywell Aerospace established operations in Puerto Rico in 2007. The parent company, Honeywell International, is a Fortune 100 company that invests and manufactures technologies to address challenges relates to energy efficiency, clean energy generation, safety and security, globalization and customer productivity. Honeywell employs more than 132,000 people, including more than 22,000 engineers and scientists worldwide.

PH, French push aerospace supply chain

Posted on by

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is working with the French aerospace industry to improve the domestic industrys capabilities as a supplier in the global aerospace supply chain.

DTI Secretary Gregory L. Domingo said his agency is working with GIFAS (Groupement des industries franaises aronautiques et spatiales) to push domestic industries beyond promoting and marketing design driven products and organic food products.

Domingo said this in a keynote speech he delivered a month ago before the visiting French delegation organized by the Mouvement des entreprises de France (MEDEF), or the Movement of the Enterprises of France.

Domingo added that the Philippines is well credentialed as leading companies like SDV, Lufthansa Technik, MOOG Technologies, and BE Aerospace have already given the country a foothold in the global aerospace supply chain.

We strongly encourage French investment, technology, and training in this sector, particularly in the field of aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul, and logistics areas where we believe we have the potential to further create and develop a competitive advantage, Domingo said.

The visit reciprocates that of Domingos, together with his Trade and Investment Promotion Group, and Department of Finance (DOF) Secretary Cesar V. Purisima, last September in France, where they had a chance to discuss with MEDEF on the Philippine growth story and its various business opportunities.

Domingo also noted that DTI and its investment promotion agencies welcome French investments in all sectors of the Philippine economy, particularly in the sectors specified in our 2013 Investment Priorities Plan.

I am especially heartened to note that based on the composition of the MEDEF mission, there appears to be a strong French interest in energy and infrastructure investments. These areas are critical to our quest for continued economic growth and development and your interest in them is indeed very welcome, Domingo said.

Domingo further said that the Philippines looks to France as a strategic European market that can showcase its best products to the world.

After an extended leave, the Department of Trade and Industry re-established the Philippine country brand in the global marketplace for design driven products at the Maison et Objet in Villepinte last September, Domingo said.
