Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) announced on November 4, 2020, that it has completed the construction of a new factory for aircraft engine components at its Nagasaki Shipyard & Machinery Works. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Aero Engines (MHIAEL), based in Komaki City, Aichi Prefecture and responsible for the MHI Group’s aero engine business, began operations at the site in November 2020, naming it the Nagasaki Plant.
The new facility primarily manufactures engine components for short- and medium-range commercial aircraft. MHI plans to gradually scale up production at the plant.
The plant features fully integrated production lines for combustor parts, handling all processes from raw material reception to machining and assembly. MHIAEL has introduced automation and labor-saving technologies, including advanced machine tools, automated conveyance systems, and automatic tool changers. The facility also incorporates IoT, AI, and other digital technologies developed at MHIAEL’s main factory to achieve world-class productivity and efficiency.
