Aircraft systems provider Liebherr-Aerospace is exhibiting its product lines and support capabilities at the Singapore Air Show (Stand C36). The Europe-based company will show off its range, including air conditioning and cabin pressure control components, flight control, and landing gear systems and electronics, which it supplies to the civil and military markets. Its products are found in virtually every type of aircraft, from the largest airliners, business jets, military transports, combat aircraft, military trainers to civil and combat helicopters.

For customers in the Asia-Pacific region, those systems are supported by its local service center Liebherr-Singapore, which provides full test, repair, and overhaul offerings.

“The Singapore Air Show is a great opportunity to present the activities and capabilities of Liebherr-Aerospace in the Asian Pacific Rim region,” stated Ekkehard Pracht, the facility’s general manager. “Our participation in the Singapore pavilion demonstrates our commitment and emphasizes the continuously growing presence in Singapore according to our long-term strategy.”

In addition to repair and service, the location also sells, leases, and exchanges equipment as well as provides training courses for service technicians.

Liebherr-Aerospace and Transportation, one of 11 divisions within the corporate group, employs approximately 5,400 people worldwide. Its four aviation equipment manufacturing plants in Germany, France, Brazil, and Russia are supported by a global network of service centers in the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Germany, Russia, Dubai, Bangalore, and Shanghai, in addition to Singapore.
