Collins Aerospace has officially inaugurated its new interiors facility in Lenexa, Kansas near Kansas City.
The 279,000-square-foot facility is double the size of previous facility with room for further expansion and is the US center of excellence for Collins’ Interior Products portfolio – supporting galley inserts, oxygen systems and lighting product lines.
The new facility has a focus on engineering, new product development, unique manufacturing processes and a robust maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) service area to strengthen the growth of Collins’ Interior Products portfolio and aftermarket service and support organisation.
“This new facility is an investment in Collins, our customers and the Lenexa community we’ve called home for more than half a century,” said Brad Haselhorst, Vice President and General Manager of Interior Products at Collins Aerospace. “We’ve been fortunate to be able to tap in to the talented and diverse workforce in the Lenexa and greater Kansas City area and look forward to the continued growth of our workforce here as we strive to better support our customers.”
The new Lenexa site also includes office space, an expanded laboratory space, a large manufacturing floor and loading docks for more efficient distribution.
