TORONTO, April 3, 2017 /CNW/ - Magellan Aerospace
("Magellan") announced today the sale of the land and building of its Mississauga facility on
Friday, March 31st, 2017. The sale will generate net cash proceeds of approximately
$32.7 million.
Magellan will lease a new facility that will be constructed by the buyer on the existing site. The facility rationalization is
being driven by the need to improve Magellan's manufacturing efficiencies, operational performance, profit margins and cash
flow.
Commenting on the rationalization, Magellan's Chief Executive Officer, Phillip Underwood stated, "Magellan's
customers expect and demand that we continue to reduce costs and improve efficiency to remain competitive. The decision for
a facility rationalization allows for reduced cost and increased overall Magellan manufacturing efficiency, while simultaneously
preserving our manufacturing capacity for the future."
Through careful planning and monitoring Magellan will minimize any disruption our customers may experience. The move to
the newly constructed facility is expected to be completed and operational in the early part of 2019.
