SUBANG, Malaysia, June 12, 2026 – A $63 million expansion at Collins Aerospace’s maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility at Subang Aerotech Park in Malaysia has increased the company’s Selangor footprint from 46,000 to 164,000 square feet.
The added space positions Subang as a hub for advanced component maintenance. Collins Aerospace expects to complete the move into the new facility by the end of 2026. The site will support the Asia-Pacific fleet, where the MRO demand is expected to double over the next two decades.
“The Asia-Pacific region is a key growth market for the industry, and this investment ensures that we grow alongside our customers,” said Irene Makris, president of power & controls at Collins Aerospace. “Malaysia offers the right environment for us to scale, and we are planning to double employment opportunities for skilled talent in the region to keep pace with growing demand. The Subang expansion optimizes operations and regional support for our customers, providing faster turnaround times and more efficient service.”
The Subang facility is adding MRO capabilities for air cycle machines, heat exchangers, valves and new-generation starters across multiple aircraft platforms, supported by digital tier boards, e-Andon, autonomous mobile robots and real-time location systems. The site also includes smart building management, safety systems, ergonomic equipment designs and an operating platform to improve productivity, resource monitoring, turnaround times and environmental performance.
“Malaysia warmly welcomes Collins Aerospace’s expansion of its MRO footprint in Subang, a vote of confidence not just in our infrastructure, but in our people and our long-term potential,” said YB Loke Siew Fook, Malaysia Minister of Transport.
“This investment reflects exactly the kind of high-value, skills-intensive growth we want to anchor here. As we work to expand the local workforce at this facility, we are also deepening Malaysia’s talent pipeline in advanced aerospace maintenance and engineering. The Asia-Pacific aviation market is growing fast, and Malaysia is well-positioned to be at the center of that growth. We will continue to create a business-friendly environment through competitive policy, strategic investment, and strong industry partnerships, to make Malaysia the first choice for aerospace players looking to expand in this region,” he added.
