Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. company, recently celebrated the 10-year anniversary of its Interiors Manufacturing Facility (IMF), a milestone that represents the company’s dedication to designing and creating a customer’s ideal aircraft environment with unmatched quality and craftsmanship. During the past decade, the highly skilled team at IMF has played a pivotal role in crafting unique and custom interiors for Cessna and Beechcraft aircraft, setting high standards in the aviation industry.
“For the past decade, the team at IMF has consistently demonstrated their expertise in designing luxurious and customized interiors for Cessna and Beechcraft aircraft. With their extensive experience and meticulous craftsmanship, each interior is a one-of-a-kind representation of our unwavering dedication to excellence and meeting our customers’ needs,” said Todd McKee, senior vice president, Integrated Supply Chain. “As we celebrate this milestone, we remain committed to setting the standard in the field of aviation interiors and inspiring the future of flight.”
In 2015, Textron Aviation acquired and rebranded the IMF facility. In 2024, the facility’s footprint was expanded to 16,000 square feet. The expansion allows the company to support the rising demand for custom interiors in nearly every aircraft delivery, as well as new models like the Cessna Citation M2 Gen2, CJ4 Gen2, Cessna SkyCourier, Beechcraft King Air 360 and King Air 260. Products currently in development — including the Cessna Citation Gen3s, the Citation Ascend and the Beechcraft Denali — will also be supported at the IMF facility once they enter into service.
Consistent with the company’s commitment to sustainability, the facility upgrades in 2024 also included energy-saving LED lighting and high-efficiency systems.
