-- New Xi'an and Tianjin offices streamline operations, bridge
cultural gaps SINGAPORE, Feb. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Goodrich Corporation (NYSE:GR) has expanded its supply chain
operations in Asia to support increased business and streamline
activities in the region. In late 2009, Goodrich opened a new
supply chain management office in Xi'an, China. The Xi'an office
supplements Goodrich's Asian supply chain headquarters location in
Tianjin, China, which also opened in 2009. Goodrich expects its
Asian supply chain operation to triple in size over the next
decade. Dan Pleshko, Chief Supply Chain Officer at Goodrich, said,
"This is a critical step in our global growth strategy, as Asia
represents the fastest growing aviation market in the world. As we
enhance our relationships, we will work to share the Goodrich
culture and values with companies that we have come to depend upon,
up and down the supply chain. We want our suppliers around the
world to hold the same values that we do - providing outstanding
quality and value with the highest business ethics." The new supply
chain operation is one of several recent activities for the company
in China. In 2009, Goodrich opened a new facility in the Tianjin
Airport Industrial Park to support nacelle and thrust reverser
original equipment as well as maintenance, repair and overhaul
(MRO) activities. The 50,000 square foot 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 Airbus A320 Family aircraft final assembly line in Tianjin.
These facilities join existing Goodrich operations in Fanling and
Xiamen, China. Goodrich Corporation, a Fortune 500 company, is a
global supplier of systems and services to aerospace, defense and
homeland security markets. With one of the most strategically
diversified portfolios of products in the industry, Goodrich serves
