US-based Aircraft Propeller Service (APS), a leading independent propeller MRO company, has opened its first-ever Asian facility right here in Selangor. But in a competitive region, why did they choose Malaysia as the hub for their Asia-Pacific ambitions?
Fergus Lopez, Managing Director for Asia Pacific at APS, joins us to detail the strategic rationale behind their investment. He discusses their unique competitive advantage as the only licensed source for proprietary OEM repairs in the region and their plan to build a "center of excellence" with a 100% Malaysian, highly-trained workforce.
We discuss:
The strategic reasons for choosing Malaysia as their APAC hub.
Their competitive advantage as a licensed MRO for proprietary repairs.
How the Malaysian facility operates as a "center of excellence."
The booming turboprop market in Asia and their plan to capture it.
Their long-term vision to expand beyond propellers into a major MRO player.
