Union Minister of Civil Aviation, Jyotiraditya Scindia visited Collins India Operations Center (CIOC) at KIADB Aerospace Park in Bengaluru. The Minister met with the Collins’ leadership team and toured the Industry 4.0 designed manufacturing facility.

The new CIOC site spans 26 acres across the Hitech Defense and Aerospace Park and will help Collins bring operational synergy and economies of scale, as well as support future growth opportunities and customer requirements. Its Building Management System (BMS) is a connected ecosystem which helps monitor and control air, water, temperature and humidity at critical process points to help maintain product quality with quick issue resolution.

Collins Aerospace recently commemorated its 25th anniversary of operations in India.

“It was a pleasure to be at Collins India, a wonderful facility that is in many ways pushing forward on the new paradigm of aerospace manufacturing in India. In its 25 years of journey, Collins Aerospace is amalgamated across multiple verticals of aerospace manufacturing. It is indeed an honor to be here with the Collins team. I wish Collins all the very best in its endeavor to grow and also contribute to India’s growth in the area of aerospace manufacturing.” said the minister for Collins Aerospace.
