Over the past decade, GE Aviation has emerged as the leading jet engine supplier in China. As of 2008, there were about 2,000 GE and CFM engines in service, with an additional 1,000 on order valued at more than $5 billion (list price) (“GE Jet Engine Backlog Climbs to $5 Billion in China,” 2008). As of September 2010, GE Aviation operated five facilities in China, including the CFM International Spares Ser-vice Center in Beijing (established in 1996), an on-wing support facil-ity in Xiamen (established in 1998), an engine-overhaul joint venture also in Xiamen (established in 1999), the China Operations Center in Shanghai (established in 2006) to provide customer support, and a new 200,000-sq-ft systems manufacturing facility in Suzhou (established in 2009) to produce autoclaved composite parts, mechanical fabrications, structure assembly, and civil-aircraft actuation systems (“GE Expands with New Facility Opening in Suzhou,” 2009).
GE Aviation maintains subcontracting relationships with Chinese manufacturers dating back to 1986. As of September 2010, its most important local supplier was the Xi’an Aero Engine Corp. (contracted since 1996), designated a manufacturing technology center to supply components for the CFM56-series jet engines (“CFM56 Sourcing and Spare Parts Programs Launched in China”). In September 2007, GE also contracted with AVIC subsidiary Shenyang Liming Aero Engine Group to supply components and undertake parts assembly and testing for the CF34-10A engines on the COMAC ARJ21 (“GE: We Believe in the Potential of the Chinese Market,” 2008, p. 17). In addition, GE procures various other aviation components from Chinese firms in Harbin, Shanghai, Sichuan, and Guizhou. In 2007, GE’s purchases of jet engine components in China reached $284 million, while Chi-nese engine orders that year were valued at more than $1 billion (list price) (“GE Jet Engine Backlog Climbs to $5 Billion in China,” 2008). In 2008, GE Aviation’s direct sourcing in China totaled $365 million (“GE Aviation’s Presence in China Continues to Grow,” 2008).
In fall 2009, GE Aviation concluded a number of MOUs with AVIC, establishing three joint ventures in connection with GE’s bid on the COMAC C919 program. These included a venture to supply engine nacelles and components (“AVIC Aircraft and Nexcelle Announce Plans for a Nacelle Joint Venture in China,” 2009), a venture to supply integrated avionics systems (“GE and AVIC Joint Venture Creates New Global Business Opportunities,” 2009), and a final assembly line for the CFM LEAP-X1C engines (“CFM and ACAE Sign MOU for LEAP-X1C Assembly Line In China,” 2009). GE was subsequently awarded the contracts for the propulsion system, engine nacelles, and avionics-core processing system of the C919 (“CFM Picked to Power China’s Future Plane,” 2010).
Goodrich Corporation
Goodrich launched its first facility in China in 1996, a joint-venture MRO facility with Xiamen TAECO to service engine and flight- control systems, actuation systems, and various other aviation systems and equipment. In June 2009, the company opened another facility in Tianjin to provide nacelle and thrust-reverser MRO services and to support engine buildup and podding work for the new Airbus A320 assembly line in the same city. Later that year, Goodrich signed an agreement with XAIC to form two joint ventures to produce landing-gear and engine-nacelle components (“2009 Press Releases”).
