Goodrich opened a new facility in China's Tianjin Airport Industrial Park last week. The 50,000ft2 facility will perform nacelle and thrust reverser MRO work for customers in the region. In addition, it will support engine buildup and podding work for the new A320-family aircraft final assembly line in Tianjin. The facility serves as an interim location; in 2010 the company plans to open a 170,000ft2 permanent facility in Tianjin directly across from the Airbus final assembly line. The new facility is also to become the headquarters for the company's supply chain activities in China.
