Honeywell's Penang facility to be fully operational in 3 months


HONEYWELL Aerospace Penang is expected to begin full operation within the next three months, its president Tim Mahoney said yesterday.

Mahoney, who is also the chief executive officer, said construction of Honeywell's state-of-the art aerospace facility started in May 2008 and was completed last December.

"Staffing and training began in the middle of 2008 and currently we have recruited about 500 employees, with all of them having completed more than 30,000 hours of training here and in the US," he said at a news conference in Penang. Mahoney said the Penang plant would be serving not only the region but also the global aviation industry with premier avionics products.

"The avionics produced here are ultimately used everyday on a wide range of planes built by the world's major aircraft manufacturers," he said, adding that the company had invested more than RM520 million in the plant located in Seberang Perai.

According to him, US-based Honeywell offers about 40,000 aerospace components and its Penang plant is expected to be the company's main production centre. - Bernama
