(MENAFN) American Boeing Co. is planning to open the first facility of its kind outside the US, located in China, in order to manufacture its top-selling 737-model jetliners, according to reports.
As Chicago-based Boeing plots a surge to as many 60 planes a month from the current 42, relocating some tasks to China would free up production volume for the 737, the world's most widely flown airliner.
The US-based top airplane manufacturer has responded to the increasing demand for single-aisle jets with the accelerating tempo at the factory in Renton, Washington, that now builds all its 737s.
"To succeed in today's competitive environment, Boeing is always looking for opportunities to support our growth plans and productivity improvements," said a spokesman from Boeing.
