This expansion marks a further step in EDM’s global growth strategy, strengthening its ability to support customers across multiple regions while increasing overall manufacturing flexibility and capacity.

The addition of the Malaysia facility (above) means EDM are well placed to support airline customers in the ASEAN region, the Americas and Europe with manufacturing operations at three key locations: Manchester (UK), STS Tulsa (USA) and Simginuity EDM (Kuala Lumpa, Malaysia).

  • Manchester (UK) – Core engineering, design and high-value manufacturing 
  • STS Tulsa (USA) – Manufacturing & Support for North American programmes and customers 
  • Simginuity EDM (Malaysia) – Regional manufacture & support for ASEAN markets

These developments uniquely position the EDM group as the only true global supplier of civil aviation training equipment and support.
