This accreditation comes as the site’s MRO capability becomes ready for new platforms, including the 737MAX and A320NEO and related LEAP and GTF engines.
 
The accreditation reflects Singapore’s strong performance and high standards of service, setting a benchmark for other sites globally. The facility has achieved service levels for both MRO and spares distribution consistently above 95% to further solidify its position as a reliable one-stop shop for all Parker Meggitt customers’ aftermarket needs in Asia Pacific. It has proved particularly valuable for customers looking to re-regionalise supply chains amidst global delays and market recovery in the APAC region.

 
Following a major expansion in 2019, Parker Meggitt continued to invest in the Singapore site and expand its capabilities, even throughout the pandemic. The facility now has air worthiness from all major jurisdictions for the provision of MRO services for all LEAP and GTF engine subcomponents. This enhances Parker Meggitt’s aftermarket position in the region, as 737MAX and A320NEO aircraft are forecasted to make up more than 50% of the world’s fleet by 2030.  
 
Parker Meggitt’s operational excellence system drives innovation in operational excellence, technology development, sales pipeline, functional excellence, and customer experience. Divided into four stages, from Green through to Gold, it provides an enterprise operating system for the entire business and is firmly rooted in three principles: People, Process and Improvement. Underpinned by an inclusive culture and lean management practices, it has already been proven to cut operational costs, resulting in competitive pricing for Meggitt customers.  
 
Commenting on the achievement, Darren Wiggins, SVP General Manager APAC for Parker Meggitt’s Services & Support division, said: “I’d like to congratulate our Services & Support team in Singapore for their continued commitment to providing an excellent service and experience for our customers. This accreditation is testament to the level of discipline we have driven into our practices, and the open culture we have fostered to ensure the sharing of new ideas and effective problem solving. HPS is centred on delivering market-leading results and as we continue on our journey towards Gold, I’m confident in our ability to keep our customers’ assets flying as we support with the APAC market’s recovery.”
