SAESL MANUFACTURING

t a time when the global aviation industry continues to grow at pace and new players are entering the market, SAESL stands out as one of the pioneers in the sector, with 25 years of experience, pedigree, and excellence behind it. The company represents a joint venture (JV) between Rolls-Royce and SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC). Today, the business finds itself at a unique point in its history as this year marks its 25th anniversary, which is a hugely important and proud milestone for everyone involved. “SAESL was incorporated in

early 1999, inducted its first engine in 2001, and recently delivered its 5,000th engine from the production line, marking the occasion with a major celebration,” introduces Chris Pattinson, CEO. At present, the company hosts around 2,500 employees and serves customers worldwide, giving it a genuinely global reach rather than a purely regional presence. Having started in 2001 with around 200 employees in a single factory, the company is now on a journey that will see it operate eight factories across Singapore, further cementing its position as the world’s largest maintenance, repair, and overhaul

(MRO) facility for Rolls-Royce Trent engines. The Rolls-Royce Trent is a family of high-bypass turbofan aircraft engines known for models like the Trent 900, Trent 1000, Trent 7000, and Trent XWB. Derived from the three-spool architecture of their predecessor, the RollsRoyce RB211, these engines power a wide range of modern long-range and wide-body commercial aircraft. Currently, approximately 25 percent of the world’s Rolls-Royce Trent engines pass through SAESL, propelling aircraft such as the Airbus A380, A330neo, and A350, as well as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

A REGION ON THE RISE Right now, the Asia Pacific (APAC) region is a huge growth market for aviation, including India, China, and the wider Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region. Singapore sits at the apex of that growth and is widely recognised as a thriving epicentre for the aviation sector. “You only have to look at the country’s ambition in aviation, including the construction and commencement of Changi Airport Terminal 5, a massive, 1,080-hectare (ha) mega-terminal which is expected to double air traffic in Singapore by the mid-2030s,”

“ I T I S A P L E AS U R E TO D O B U S I N E SS I N SINGAPORE ALONGSIDE LIKE-MINDED PA R T N E R S W H O S H A R E A H I G H L E V E L O F A M B I T I O N A N D PAC E ” – C H R I S P AT T I N S O N , C E O , S A E S L

Pattinson excites. This level of ambition and investment creates major opportunities for engine MRO manufacturers such as SAESL. “From our location here, we are surrounded by many of the biggest players in the aviation sector, which reflects the strength and energy of

the industry in Singapore.” For SAESL, being based here is a significant advantage because the regional growth is substantial and there is a real sense of buoyancy across the market. As Pattinson is keen to point out, another important factor is the nation’s overall stability.

“Having worked in the US and extensively across Europe, I can see that Singapore offers a strong foundation built on political and economic stability. That matters enormously in a longcycle business such as ours,” he adds. With a government that is genuinely pro-business, the speed at which SAESL can mobilise, change, and adapt to macroeconomic trends, as well as internal trends, is vital to the company’s success to date. These favourable attributes allow the company to remain nimble and react to any fluctuating industry trends and developments it encounters. “That is undoubtedly why the growth we are seeing across the MRO sector in APAC is so strong right now,” affirms Pattinson.

STABILITY AND TALENT During a product lifecycle, an engine is built, fitted to an aircraft, and flown for several years before returning for planned maintenance, after which it goes back into service. 10 | APAC Outlook Issue 81

WHAT ELEMENTS OF YOUR ROLE GIVE YOU THE MOST SATISFACTION? CHRIS PATTINSON, CEO: “There are probably three elements I would highlight. First, being CEO of a company that is a JV between Rolls-Royce and SIAEC is an incredible honour. “It is very exciting, and a huge amount of accountability comes with it. You are dealing with like-minded and highly capable people, and we are doing this at a time of maximum growth and significant change, which is excellent. “Second, in addition to that growth, we are now positioned at the forefront of technology. We are working at the absolute cutting-edge with some of the best minds focused on solving highly complex problems. We are making huge inroads, and that is incredibly exciting. “Third, and very importantly for me, is the people. Here in Singapore, the culture, teams, government, and businesses all have such a can-do mindset. “The energy and level of ambition we have for the future are incredibly high. That really inspires me and makes this such a great place to work.”

These engines last for decades, so operating in a stable environment is extremely valuable to companies such as SAESL. “When you combine stability with the growth taking place across the region, Singapore becomes a powerful place to position SAESL,” Pattinson confirms. Elsewhere, technology is another major trend right now, and Singapore, including government agencies such as the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), is strongly pro-business, which is particularly important in today’s rapidly changing world. Companies face pressures now that did not exist before, so being in a business environment that supports progress, growth, and innovation is a real advantage. “It is a pleasure to do business in Singapore alongside like-minded partners who share a high level of ambition and pace,” he gushes.

aerospace manufacturing. We have access to highly capable people, which is exciting, especially as artificial intelligence (AI) and other new aerospace technologies emerge over the next decade,” enthuses Pattinson. Undoubtedly, being positioned in Singapore gives SAESL a strong platform for future success.

NEXT PHASE OF GROWTH Over the past 25 years, SAESL has delivered 5,000 engines, but this is just the beginning of its next phase. “We’re now in the process of undergoing a bold transformation of the company and investing USD$190 million to increase our production capacity to 400 engines per year,” Pattinson reveals.

“ W E H AV E S TA F F H E R E W H O H AV E B E E N W I T H U S Q U I T E L I T E R A L LY F R O M D AY O N E , S O I T ’ S A N E X T R E M E LY P R O U D Y E A R F O R U S A N D A H U G E LY T R A N S F O R M AT I V E T I M E . H OW E V E R , T H I S I S N OT T H E E N D – I T I S J U ST THE BEGINNING” – C H R I S P AT T I N S O N , C E O , S A E S L

This ambitious target represents a 40 percent increase in engines coming off the production line, as well as a doubling of the work content in the factory. SAESL is building two new factories in Singapore, a development which is hugely exciting for Pattinson. “We’re also growing our team from 2,000 employees to 2,500, creating 500 new skilled jobs across the wider ecosystem. That is a real testament to the success and foundations we have built over the past 25 years,” he emphasises. Alongside, the company is driving significant technological development across the business. This involves introducing high levels of automation and AI across the company, implementing new systems and enterprise planning capabilities, and advancing repair technology. “I am really proud of our teams because we are developing some of the most advanced repair technologies that exist today – there are only a handful of companies in the world that can do what we do.” Through the company’s links in Singapore, including with the Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A*STAR), SAESL has made huge strides in areas such as additive manufacturing. “This allows the repair of different engine components using laser powder, 3D printing, and additive manufacturing technologies that, quite frankly, do not exist amongst many of our competitors,” Pattinson acclaims. These advancements are currently being applied across different areas of the company, and much of it is enabled by two key factors. The first is that SAESL is differentiated by having Rolls-Royce, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), as its partner. The second is being located in Singapore, where there is highly capable talent and a pro-business government that has enabled the establishment of world-class research labs.

“We have a hugely exciting journey ahead, and it is important we continue on that path because this is setting up the next 25 years of SAESL’s success,” he sets out.

RESPONDING TO ADVERSITY Pattinson knows that running a company brings challenges every day at different scales. “Clearly, the decisions we took as the world navigated the COVID-19 pandemic were hugely important, particularly because the aviation sector was so heavily impacted as countries across the world closed their borders,” he reflects. Global air passenger numbers plunged from over 4.5 billion in 2019 to roughly 1.8 billion in 2020, a drop of over 60 percent. The pandemic caused the most severe disruption in aviation history, resulting in an unprecedented collapse in passenger traffic, trillions in lost revenue, and permanent 18 | APAC Outlook Issue 81

changes to global flight operations. Such challenges are not taken lightly by SAESL and, amid current global tensions – particularly in the Middle East – there are further obstacles to overcome. “SAESL is a JV between RollsRoyce in the UK and SIAEC in Singapore, so we do a huge amount of trade between those two countries. “We have millions of parts moving across the world in order to rebuild jet engines and put them back into service. As a result, we have had to take prudent measures to deal with the effects of

inflation and escalation in fuel prices over the short term,” he explains. The company is well-positioned to respond in this way because SAESL is creating a business built on fantastic people, outstanding technology, and strong capabilities, which has enabled it to remain resilient. “Looking ahead to the next 18 months, despite such challenges, we are continuing to invest USD$190 million in our company and our people because we can see the growth that will come on the back of that investment.”

its promise to deliver the next 1,000 engines in just three. “This gives you a sense of the scale of the expansion and the growth we see in the company, the market, and across APAC. This is a really proud moment, one where we can all stand tall and hold our heads high.”

A PERSONAL JOURNEY Pattinson has been on a journey through the aerospace sector for more than 20 years, leading to his

current position as CEO of SAESL. In a career that can be viewed through the lens of two distinct halves, he studied engineering at university, then graduated and joined RollsRoyce, where he spent the first 10 years in a variety of engineering roles, initially in the defence sector, working on global defence applications and highly technical projects. “Over time, however, you start to understand what you enjoy most and where your strengths lie.

• The roots of MHE’s legacy run deep: The IPD business portion has been involved in delivering systems for iconic structures like the Petronas Twin Towers, Marina Bay Sands, KL Tower, Gardens by the Bay, Bitexco Financial Tower, and Okada Manila. • It also supplied major infrastructure systems - for example, the mechanism for the retractable roof of Singapore Sports Hub, one of the largest freespanning domes globally. • In 2023, Jebsen & Jessen’s acquisition of MHEDemag’s IPD business marked a strategic expansion in the group’s industrial engineering capabilities. These milestones serve as proof of MHE’s ability to deliver at scale, in complexity, and with long-term reliability.

PAVING THE WAY A key element of the company’s ongoing and proactive investment in its people is the crucial process of laying the path for future team members – setting up the next generation of people to come through and join the SAESL family. “What we are creating is a talent pipeline and an ecosystem. As well as establishing a training academy, which will be a place that inspires technology, innovation, and collaboration, we also announced several collaborations at the Singapore Airshow,” Pattinson elaborates. One of those was an MoU with Singapore Polytechnic. SAESL also connects with several other polytechnics, building a talent network that gives students a pathway from their studies into the workforce. “We are specifically curating 32 | APAC Outlook Issue 81

courses and electives during their studies so that they can progress through their education then graduate into a range of different roles within our business.” SAESL knows it is vital to provide a coherent vision for people whilst they are learning and studying to show where their training can lead them. “When people see investment in individuals, that is when they really connect with an organisation. It is about connecting people’s heads and their hearts,” Pattinson continues.

“This is where we really cement the transformation and make it real. When everyone comes to work each day, they will be able to walk past what the future is going to look like.” To this end, every day, SAESL is investing in its people and the future of the company. In terms of future expansion into new geographies, the business remains tied to its partners – as such, Rolls-Royce continues to expand into new customers and new regions around the world. “Publicly, China and India are clearly very large growing markets. From a SAESL perspective, we are part of that ecosystem and will continue to work closely with Rolls-Royce and SIAEC on those ventures,” he comments. Elsewhere, throughout the rest of the year, anniversary celebrations will continue. Having already held a large celebration with all its partners to mark the 5,000th engine coming off the production line, the company is also planning a formal reception around its board meeting in September. “Here, we will invite many of the company’s previous leaders, along with our industry partners and dignitaries, to celebrate this hugely proud moment. “It will be an opportunity to not only reflect on what we have achieved, but importantly, also look at where we are going and what we all have to look forward to in the years ahead,” Pattinson concludes with pride.

FUTURE VISIONS Pattinson is keen to express how important the next 18 months are for the company. “We are at a real turning point in our history in a very positive sense. Over the next year and a half, we will bring two brand-new facilities online and welcome up to 500 additional employees into our teams,” he asserts.
