Honeywell Appoints Rosebank Engineering As Authorised Service Centre For F-35 Wheels And Brakes

Victoria, Australia, 28 February 2023 – Honeywell and Rosebank Engineering have signed three agreements to appoint Rosebank Engineering as a Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) Authorised Service Centre for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Wheels and Brakes program in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. As the Product Support Provider for Honeywell-manufactured F-35 Wheels and Brakes, this will strengthen sovereign capability of Rosebank Engineering and its ability to deliver on customer requirements.

“We are thrilled to partner with Rosebank Engineering to provide depot capabilities for the F-35 fleet,” said Sathesh Ramiah, vice president, Defense APAC, Honeywell Aerospace. “Due to Honeywell’s robust APAC presence and experience, we are well positioned to support Rosebank Engineering’s MRO needs. The region is becoming a global aerospace hub, and the launch of this Authorised Service Centre in APAC will further strengthen the industry’s capabilities and developmental achievements for years to come.”

After receiving Authority to Proceed from the F-35 Joint Program Office, the establishment of the Honeywell MRO Authorised Service Centre will be exclusive to Rosebank Engineering in the APAC region. This will support ongoing maintenance and sustainment of the wheels and brakes for the fifth generation F-35 fleet. This is the first of several F-35 sustainment assignments to be awarded to Rosebank Engineering and activated.

Rosebank Engineering will transition its highly skilled and experienced defence and aerospace technical staff from current legacy programs into the F-35 Global Support Systems. Rosebank Engineering has a longstanding history of partnering with Honeywell on various Defence platforms and programs.
