Electronics specialist Ontic (Booth D63) is to open a center of excellence here in Singapore this year. It will be the fifth location of the BBA Aviation subsidiary, as Ontic support facilities can already be found in Texas and the UK, in addition to its Chatsworth, California headquarters.

In Chatsworth, Ontic has expanded its electronic manufacturing and repair area by 5,000 feet. Capabilities there now include the production and repair of electronic assemblies, microcircuits and electromechanical assemblies. Ontic supports “mature” electronics and avionics. It also license-produces some equipment designed by Honeywell and Hamilton Sundstrand, among others.
