Component repair
Since being embraced into the SAESL family, its component repair strand has become a significant contributor to the Company’s own vertical integration ambitions and, thus, to the overall quality of products distributed to the global market. In supporting in-house and global component repair demand, the division has the capability to repair more than 85 percent of the engine, including five accredited centres of excellence for fan blades, compressor blades, nozzle guide vanes, compressor stator vanes, and front combustion liners. And in 2016, the Company compounded this market-leading strength even more concertedly via an amalgamation with International Engine Component Overhaul Pte Ltd (IECO); a world-class component repair Company based in Singapore and a readymade perfect fit when it came to a strategic merger for SAESL.
