As its iconic Trent engine family reaches the 25-year mark, Rolls-Royce (Stand N23) is also celebrating more than 10 years since its Singapore base at Seletar Airport was established. It has grown from a moderate outfit in 2009 into one of the five global hubs of the technology giant—the other four being the United Kingdom, China, India, and the Middle East. Located at Seletar Aerospace Crescent, 15 miles outside the city, the facility was built on the former army barracks and in 2012, began assembling Trent engines, a major step forward.
