Eaton-SIAEC joint venture reaches new heights with key milestones

The new Shah Alam facility will boost MRO services and strengthen Malaysia’s aerospace industry in 18 months.

Eaton and SIA Engineering Company Ltd (SIAEC) unveiled the logo for their joint venture, Eaton Aerospace Component Services Asia Sdn Bhd (EAS), at the MRO Asia-Pacific event. 

The new logo, branded as “Eaton Aero Services,” symbolises the partnership of the two companies, aimed at delivering customer-focused aerospace solutions in the Asia-Pacific region.

This launch follows the groundbreaking of EAS’s new facility in Shah Alam, Malaysia, in September 2024. The facility will focus on inspecting, repairing, maintaining, and overhauling Eaton-manufactured aircraft components for fuel and hydraulic systems.

Scheduled to be fully operational within 18 months, EAS is expected to contribute to Malaysia’s economy by strengthening the region’s role as a hub for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services. 

Datuk Sikh Shamsul, CEO of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), highlighted this venture as a significant milestone for Malaysia’s aerospace industry.

Desmond Goh of Eaton’s Aerospace Group noted the venture will offer best-in-class MRO services to the Asia-Pacific region, while SIAEC’s Dr Bernd Riggers emphasised the rapid progress of the joint venture as a testament to both companies’ commitment to quality and growth.
