SEATTLE, 16 April 2011. A new Rockwell Collins maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility opened in Seattle. The new service center will expand the company’s asset management and testing for Boeing and its 787 Dreamliner operators.
The new 16,000 square-foot facility, located at 32125 32nd Avenue South in Federal Way, Wash., houses spare pools and updated 787 test equipment. Thirty-eight Rockwell Collins employees work at the new facility.
"This new service center reinforces our commitment to Boeing and its customers," says Scott Gunnufson, vice president and general manager of Service Solutions for Rockwell Collins. "This expansion will allow us to provide airlines operating the new 787 and other Boeing aircraft with prompt, comprehensive support and spares provisioning through our Global Asset Management program."
