GKN Aerospace is set to open a new 24,000 square foot facility where it will consolidate the companys integration activity for Honeywells HTF7000 series of business jet engines. The new facility will sit alongside the Honeywell operation in Phoenix, AZ and will pod Honeywells engines into GKN Aerospace designed and manufactured nacelles for HTF7000 powered aircraft - including Bombardier, Gulfstream and Embraer business jets. GKN Aerospace will then deliver the complete propulsion system, on Honeywells behalf, directly to the appropriate airframe end customer assembly line.
The Arizona site will commence operation this fall, becoming fully functional by the end of the year when it is expected to employ up to 50 people, handling the podding of engines for the Bombardier CL300 and CL350, the Gulfstream G280 and the Embraer 450/500 business jets. At capacity, the site will be capable of assembling 28 complete power systems per month. "We have worked closely with Honeywell since the commencement of their highly successful HTF7000 engine programme in the late 1990s - with our engineering team designing the nacelle to be uniquely adaptable and multi-application," said Phil Swash, CEO, GKN Aerospace - Europe and Special Products. "These engines have now been selected to power several different aircraft and so the time is right to establish a more geographically and logistically efficient location for the integration process. Our new operation will allow us to cut transport costs, reduce cycle times and extend the flexibility of the service we offer Honeywell and their aircraft prime customers.

GKN Aerospace Opens New U.S. BizJet Engine Integration Facility
2 June 2013 Last updated at 19:27 ET
Engineering group MB Aerospace has bought a US-based aero engine component maker in a multi-million dollar deal.
The Motherwell-based firm confirmed it had acquired Delta Industries but did not disclose how much it paid.
Delta, which is based in Connecticut, reported annual sales last year of more than $60m (39.5m).
The deal will boost MB Aerospace's projected annual revenue to more than 100m and raise staff numbers from 370 to 550.
The firm's US staff count now stands at more than 400, with the rest spread across three UK sites.
The deal comes only a few months after US private equity firm Arlington Capital Partners bought a majority stake in MB Aerospace.
The company, which specialises in machined and fabricated components for global aerospace and defence manufacturers, announced at the time it would embark on a series of acquisitions as part of an expansion drive.
MB Aerospace chief executive Craig Gallagher said establishing a new base in the aerospace community of Connecticut was a strategic step for the group as it broadened its customer reach and skills base.
He added: "With its wide range of capabilities, long-standing customer relationships and its strong management team, the Delta business has been a long-term target for MB Aerospace. It is a perfect fit with our ambitions for future growth.

The acquisition follows MB Aerospace chief executive Craig Gallagher leading a secondary MBO of MB Aerospace sponsored by Washington DC based private equity firm Arlington Capital Partners ('Arlington') in March of this year.
Mr Gallagher said: "With its wide range of capabilities, long-standing customer relationships and its strong management team, the Delta business has been a long-term target for MB Aerospace. It is a perfect fit with our ambitions for future growth.
"We are delighted to have succeeded in securing such a highly prized company and we believe that the combined group is positioned to take advantage of the available opportunities for further expansion in the months and years ahead.
"Today's announcement adds significant technical capabilities to the group, especially in relation to large-diameter fabrications and robotic welding of complex high-value aero engines components. In addition to its high levels of capability, Delta has an industry-leading reputation for its ability to manufacture challenging system-critical components."
The enlarged group now has a range of capabilities able to provide OEMs with engineering skills/services alongside the complex products found throughout aero, marine and industrial gas turbine engines. Core product technologies include casings, complex fabricated casings, rotating rings, complex structural assemblies and a range of diffusers, sync rings and high-value casings.

The school brings academic concepts to life through a core curriculum with an aerospace theme as well as specialized elective classes, internships at the secondary level, clubs, guest speakers, presentations and other enrichment activities all stemming from local aerospace industry partnerships.
The school opened in August 2012 to seventh-, eighth- and ninth-grade students. Herman said a grade level is to be added to the school each year until it includes all grades, K through 12.
PPG is strongly committed to supporting the communities where its employees work and live, especially through educational initiatives that encourage students to pursue technology-related studies and careers, said David Morris, PPG general manager and vice president, Americas, aerospace. Because of its unique curriculum, supporting the Palmdale Aerospace Academy is key to PPGs aerospace business. The schools students will be integral to the future of our industry, and the unique programming the school provides shows the value of industrys collaboration with academia and the community.

67 WALL STREET, New York - May 29, 2013 - The Wall Street Transcript has just published its Industrial Equipment, Aerospace and Defense Report offering a timely review of the sector to serious investors and industry executives. This special feature contains expert industry commentary through in-depth interviews with public company CEOs and Equity Analysts. The full issue is available by calling (212) 952-7433 or via The Wall Street Transcript Online.
Topics covered: Commercial Aviation and Energy Expenditures - Industrial Restructuring - Emerging Markets Penetration - Heightened M&A Activity - Defense Budget Uncertainty - Capital Equipment Technology Investing
Companies include: Boeing Co. (BA), Rockwell Automation Inc. (ROK), ABB Ltd. (ABB), Emerson Electric Co. (EMR), General Electric Co. (GE), Caterpillar Inc. (CAT), SPX Corporation (SPW) and many more.
In the following excerpt from the Industrial Equipment, Aerospace and Defense Report, an expert analyst discusses the outlook for the sector for investors:
TWST: So which verticals and geographies are you especially positive on right now?
Mr. Langenberg: Our macro outlook will be similar to others; where we differ is in how to play it. In the growing now bucket, U.S. residential is recovering nicely. We are seeing growth in the 10%, 15%, even 20% range, driven by refurbishing and higher new starts. This is the easiest growth you can find, because it is really recovering off a low base.
Homebuilding doesn't need to recover to 2 million units for an investor to win; going from 500,000 to 700,000 and then 1 million units is walking a worn path. We do not formally track those names, but it supports the entire HVAC/construction complex, construction equipment, and power transmission and distribution. We really like this theme, but also seek to find higher-return/lower-risk ways to express our view in the market than simply buying every homebuilder or HVAC-related company. This is a U.S.-centric driver, but since most of our companies are 50% to 60% U.S., it matters.
Globally, we and everybody else likes the commercial aerospace market, given large backlogs at Boeing (BA) and Airbus (EAD.PA) and ramping production schedules. Aftermarket has been weak. While shop visits are fine, in line with global flight hours, the revenue per visit has surprised everybody to the downside as airlines opt to do just enough to get by.
The suppliers are going, "sooner or later you have to upgrade." They are probably right, but then again, if you are waiting on new aircraft, maybe you don't. Since spares and upgrades are the highest margin, this is a fly in the ointment, but not enough to dampen our enthusiasm. It is a consensus call really.
Within commercial aerospace, we really like Bombardier (BBD-A.TO) because of the CSeries, which already has commitments on 388 aircraft; 145 firm, first flight coming soon, and initial deliveries in 2014. Global defense spending will also be more resilient...
