HAECO Cabin Solutions, a division of HAECO Americas and a business unit within HAECO Group, announced today that it will expand its design engineering and interiors product manufacturing capacity in a new, 259,000 square foot facility in High Point, North Carolina. Located at 8010 Piedmont Parkway, the building is in close proximity to HAECO Americas' headquarters in Greensboro. Renovations will start in 2015 and the facility is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2016.

HAECO Americas is experiencing increased demand for the Company's engineering capabilities, such as airline fleet retrofit programmes, as well as interiors products like the Company's new Vector-Y™ passenger seats and FeatherWeight™ galleys and lavatories. Up to 400 employees are expected to work at the new facility, including a mix of new hires and transfers from other existing HAECO locations.

"We are excited to announce this significant expansion. The new facility boosts our capacity to deliver interiors products and services to customer airlines from around the world," said Kevin Carter, CEO of HAECO Americas. "We are making a considerable investment to purchase the facility and upgrade it to an industry-leading aviation interiors fabrication centre," Mr Carter added. The Company will continue to operate its dedicated seat engineering and manufacturing facility in nearby Wallburg, North Carolina.
