Collins Aerospace to Expand Manufacturing Footprint with New Facility at FPIP

Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, is expanding its footprint at the First Philippine Industrial Park (FPIP) after signing a new agreement on January 8, 2026 at the FPIP Administration Building. 

The expansion adds 7,846 sq.m, enabling Collins Aerospace to improve its operational efficiency, increase production output, and meet rising demand in the aerospace sector. The new facility is set to open in the third quarter of 2026.

Collins Aerospace manufactures high-quality cabin interior products, including galleys, galley inserts, lavatories, and  seating. Collins recently made another mark on the global stage by manufacturing new economy class seats for the newly refurbished Philippine Airlines Airbus A321ceo fleet.

“FPIP has been instrumental as Collins has incrementally grown its Philippine-based operations, capabilities and expertise since 2012,” said Mary DeStaffan, general manager of Collins Aerospace’s Philippine campus. “This growth is critical for Collins to best support the rapidly growing aviation industry in-country and region, as well as airliners and airframers around the globe.”

“This expansion marks a major milestone for both Collins Aerospace and FPIP. It not only reflects the growing demand for advanced aerospace manufacturing in the country. It also highlights FPIP’s ability to support companies like Collins Aerospace in growing operations while generating employment for Filipinos,” said Yutaro Kuryu, Senior Vice President and Head of Industrial Business Group.

He added, “This is not just about having a bigger space or bigger operations. It is about the impact they are helping the Philippines make in the global aerospace industry, and more importantly, the opportunities they are making for the Filipino workforce. Rest assured, we will continue to support them in every way we can.”
