KUALA LUMPUR, June 17 (Bernama) — The Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) congratulates UMW Aerospace Sdn. Bhd., a wholly-owned subsidiary in the UMW Group, for being inducted in the 2021 Cohort of Rolls-Royce’s High Performing Supplier Group. The inclusion places UMW Aerospace amongst the top 5 per cent of Rolls-Royce’s global suppliers, since winning the “Trusted to Deliver Excellence” award in 2018.
UMW Aerospace is the only home-grown company to become a Tier 1 supplier to Rolls-Royce. In August 2015, UMW Aerospace signed a 25+5 year contract with Rolls-Royce to manufacture and assemble fan cases for the latter’s Trent 1000 and Trent 7000 engines. Based in the UMW High-Value Manufacturing Park in Serendah, UMW Aerospace successfully delivered the first fan case for Trent 1000 engines in November 2017. Subsequently, it delivered the maiden fan case for Trent 7000 engines in October 2020. The fan cases are transported to Rolls-Royce’s facility in Singapore.
