A Decade of Distinction: Textron Aviation’s Journey of Innovation at the Interiors Manufacturing Hub
Textron Aviation Inc., a subsidiary of Textron Inc., recently marked the 10-year anniversary of its Interiors Manufacturing Facility (IMF), a landmark that exemplifies the company’s commitment to designing and constructing a client’s ideal aircraft atmosphere with unparalleled quality and craftsmanship. Over the past decade, the proficient team at IMF has been instrumental in creating distinctive and tailored interiors for Cessna and Beechcraft aircraft, establishing elevated benchmarks in the aviation sector.
“Throughout the last decade, the IMF team has consistently showcased their proficiency in designing opulent and bespoke interiors for Cessna and Beechcraft aircraft. With their vast experience and meticulous craftsmanship, each interior is a unique embodiment of our steadfast pledge to excellence and fulfilling our clients’ demands,” stated Todd McKee, senior vice president, Integrated Supply Chain. “As we commemorate this milestone, we remain devoted to setting the benchmark in the realm of aviation interiors and inspiring the future of aerial travel.”
In 2015, Textron Aviation acquired and rebranded the IMF facility. By 2024, the footprint of the facility was expanded to 16,000 square feet. This expansion enables the company to accommodate the increasing demand for custom interiors in nearly every aircraft delivery, along with innovative models such as the Cessna Citation M2 Gen2, CJ4 Gen2, Cessna SkyCourier, Beechcraft King Air 360, and King Air 260. Presently, products in development — including the Cessna Citation Gen3s, the Citation Ascend, and the Beechcraft Denali — will also be supported at the IMF facility once they commence service.
Aligned with the company’s dedication to sustainability, the 2024 facility upgrades also incorporated energy-efficient LED lighting and high-performance systems.
