Boeing celebrated the opening of its new Interiors Fabrication facility in North Charleston.
The Interiors Responsibility Center South Carolina team will manufacture 787 interior parts including stowbins, closets, partitions, class dividers, floor-mounted stowbins used by flight attendants, overhead rests for flight-crews and flight attendants, video control stations and attendant modules for Boeing South Carolina.
Elected officials and representatives from community and business groups and local construction companies joined hundreds of Boeing employees to commemorate the opening.
“As part of today’s celebration we acknowledge and thank you all for welcoming us into the community, and showing us your support as we bring our facility on line,” said Lane Ballard, Boeing Interiors Responsibility Center South Carolina director. “We look forward to delivering our first set of interior components to Boeing South Carolina in 2012.”
Boeing’s Site Services Group, BRPH and Pattillo Construction were recognized at the ceremony for completing the facility on schedule. Pattillo’s crew worked more than 500,000 labor-hours without a lost-time accident.
