Boeing has completed expansion work at its Tianjin composites joint venture, allowing it to increase its production capacity of commercial aviation composite parts.
The completion also comes as Boeing Tianjin Composites marks its 25th anniversary. The facility is Boeing’s first joint venture in China, and has produced more than 1.8 million components covering all of Boeing’s in-production commercial aircraft, such as the 737 Max, 777 and 787.
Boeing adds that over 10,000 Boeing commercial airplanes in operation globally fly with parts and assemblies built in China.
The airframer says the expansion completion ceremony was held on 12 April, attended by employees, partners as well as government officials. Media reports state the new facility spans a floor area of around 58,000 sq m.
