Edwardsville, IL (PRWEB) May 11, 2012

Researchers at The NCERC today announced that they have successfully produced ethanol from the cellulosic portion of the corn kernel.

“This research is demonstrated proof of the viability of ‘generation 2.0 ethanol,’” NCERC Director John Caupert said. “By utilizing existing technologies readily available in the commercial marketplace, the NCERC was able to produce a biofuel that builds upon the strengths of conventional corn ethanol and the promise of cellulosic ethanol, thus making bolt-on cellulosic ethanol a reality.”

Caupert added that the potential for cellulosic ethanol has significant immediate and long-term impacts on the biofuels industry generally and the ethanol industry specifically.

“Any of the 211 existing ethanol plants in the United States could be retrofitted with existing bolt-on technologies to produce cellulosic ethanol from corn without the need to build new facilities,” Caupert said. “This translates into opportunities for jobs and economic development, particularly in rural areas.

According to the Illinois Renewable Fuels Association, the ethanol industry provides more than 4,000 full-time jobs with an economic impact exceeding $ 5.29 billion in Illinois alone. There are currently 14 ethanol plants online in the state.

NCERC Assistant Director of Biological Research Sabrina Trupia emphasized the importance of the demonstration in future research opportunities.

“This is a significant milestone with immediate industry impact, but producing cellulosic ethanol from corn bran is also proof that cellulosic ethanol could be produced at NCERC utilizing any cellulosic feedstock,” Trupia said. “From a research perspective, this is only the first step in a very exciting road toward a future of energy security.”

The NCERC credits a series of actions, grants and capital gifts for making the research possible, including the formation of the NCERC Technical Advisory Committee in 2008, the Center’s 2009 Advanced Biofuels Initiative, and two significant capital gift donations: a corn fractionation system (2010) and fermentation suite (2011). These steps were complemented by a research and development grant through the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

“It’s the culmination of four years of activity here at the Center, and a shining example of a public-private partnership that works,” Caupert said. “With our expanded fermentation capabilities, the Center is actively seeking industry, academic, and government agency partnerships.”

About the Center

The NCERC at SIUE is a nationally-recognized research center dedicated to the development and commercialization of biofuels, specialty chemicals, and other renewable compounds. Established through federal and state initiatives, with support from the Illinois and National Corn Growers Associations, the Center promotes rural development and economic stimulus and is providing tomorrow’s workforce with the skills needed to meet the challenges of a changing energy environment.

Shanghai,China (PRWEB) May 15, 2012

iMandarin Language Training Institute’s Overseas Program- an initiative aimed at recruiting students from countries outside of China to learn Chinese language and culture at the school’s various locations inside the country- recently received China’s 1st and only accreditation from EAQUALS (Evaluation and Accreditation of Quality in Language Services). Further, the school managed to complete the accreditation process in just under a year, a feat deemed incredibly challenging by even the most organized and professional institutions. iMandarin refers to itself as a national leader in mandarin Chinese education, known for its professionalism, teaching efficiency and customer service; this accreditation and the speed at which it was accomplished validate that claim.

The School

“We are thrilled to be ranked among national leaders in language education, particularly as our Overseas Program is still within its relative infancy stage.” -Frank Zhu, iMandarin’s COO.

Even though its Overseas Program has only been operating since January 2011, iMandarin has been providing language training to students for 10 years. More than 20,000 international students have registered with the school for their language education since its inception.

Boasting 18 campuses in 10 major cities around China, iMandarin is the country’s largest privately-owned Chinese language service provider. In addition to its size, the school displays an innovative streak largely unseen in the nation’s education industry- it writes and publishes its own textbooks (which are designed to be used in tandem with iMandarin’s home-grown curriculum), which have been adopted and put to use by language service providers nationwide.

In addition to receiving this prestigious EAQUALS accreditation, iMandarin’s program has been endorsed by “The Lonely Planet” as a primary stop for learning the Chinese language, and has been included in both of Here’s China’s “Top 10 Special Chinese Language Training Schools” and “Top 10 Best Chinese Language Schools” lists.

The Accreditation

EAQUALS is an international association of providers of language courses and services which aims to promote high quality within the language education field. It has been providing accreditation for leaders in language education since 1991. In order to become an Accredited Member of EAQUALS, each school must undergo a rigorous external inspection to ensure that the school is able to meet the strict criteria laid down in the EAQUALS Charters. The inspection is repeated every four years. Notable members include global language service provider giants EF and International House. (For further information about EAQUALS, visit http://www.eaquals.org.)

The World

Global interest in learn Chinese language has been steadily rising over the past decade. In terms of spoken international languages, Chinese is second only to Spanish within the U.S. As China continues to dominate certain industries and business sectors, entrepreneurs, corporate leaders and aspiring political figures from around the globe are seeking opportunities to strengthen their communication skills. What better way to communicate with Chinese business-men and -women than in their native language?

One of the best ways to master a foreign language is through immersion in the local culture. iMandarin’s Overseas Program offers this and more to international students.

WSIE-FM (88.7)—The Jazz Station—broadcasting at 50,000 watts from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and on wsie.com, will be conducting an on-air fund drive from 5 p.m. Friday, May 18, to 4 p.m. Sunday, May 20, with scheduled breaks in between.

During the weekend, special guests will visit the station studio to chat with on-air personalities Dick Ulett and Jason Valentine, newsperson Tricia Siekmann and WSIE General Manager Greg Conroy.

Scheduled visitors include guitarist Rick Haydon, head of the SIUE Jazz Studies Program; SIUE College of Arts and Sciences Dean Aldemaro Romero, host of “Segue” on Sunday mornings; SIUE Vice Chancellor for University Relations Patrick Hundley; jazz guitarist Tom Byrne; and Delano Redmond, head of the jazz music program at East St. Louis High School.

At 6 p.m. Saturday, Ryan Sheehan and his Big Band Show airs with music of the great jazz orchestras, past and present, from Glenn Miller to Gordon Goodwin. Justin Wingerter, host of WSIE’s Rat Pack Show on Saturday nights, will welcome Dean Christopher, a St. Louis-based comedian who specializes in impressions of the members of that legendary Vegas group of entertainers. The Rat Pack Show, a weekly show and part of the fund-raising weekend, will begin at 7 p.m. that Saturday.

The station will offer new WSIE premium items for giveaway at various levels of funding including a beverage tumbler and a stylish desk clock as well as CD selections from the MaxJazz recording label in St. Louis. In addition, donors may choose to host their very own two-hour jazz show or receive underwriting messages throughout a given day, all for higher levels of giving.

Conroy said proceeds will benefit the station’s equipment and operating funds. “The first on-air fund-raiser the station had conducted in two decades aired in December,” Conroy said, “and it was fairly successful, but we need to air these twice annually.” Some of the needs of the station include a transmitter generator, additional studio soundproofing, replacement audio system components and music library enhancements.

“I realize our listeners don’t really want to hear us talk about financial need, especially in this economic climate,” Conroy said, “but most of our funding comes from our loyal listeners, so this becomes a necessary evil. We think this weekend will be uniquely entertaining, while we play great jazz in between the fund-raising portions of the weekend.”

WSIE-FM—The Jazz Station broadcasts 24/7 with news, public affairs, SIUE Cougar Sports and, most of all, great modern American jazz for the St. Louis region. The station’s phone-a-thon is part of the University’s ongoing $ 50 million capital campaign known as the “Defining Excellence: The Campaign for SIUE.” More than $ 30 million has already been contributed to the campaign

Vice Chancellor Hundley, who also is executive director of the SIUE Foundation, said the campaign allows “our supporters and alumni to invest in our momentum. Their generous gifts will keep SIUE’s quality educational opportunities affordable for all students,” Hundley said. “We will be seeking further support from alumni, corporate leaders and the community.

“SIUE creates opportunities for students to receive a top-ranked education,” he said. “More than half of our 90,000 graduates live and work in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area, and SIUE makes a $ 471 million economic impact on our region every year.”

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) May 02, 2012

The International Songwriting Competition (ISC), the world’s foremost global songwriting event, is pleased to announce its 2011 winners. ISC’s Grand Prize is awarded to New Zealand native Kimbra for her song “Cameo Lover,” entered in the Pop/Top 40 category. Kimbra also holds the distinction of having won First Place in the Pop/Top 40 category in 2010 for her song “Settle Down.” The Grand Prize winner takes home $ 25,000 in cash (US) and an additional $ 25,000 in merchandise and services.

Called “the songwriting competition to take note of” by the New York Times, ISC was

established in 2002 and awards more than $ 150,000 in cash and prizes to amateur and

professional songwriters around the globe. This year was the most competitive of any year

in terms of quantity and quality of entries, and winners were selected from over 16,000 songs

submitted from 112 countries worldwide. Judges included iconic artists Tom Waits, Jeff Beck,

McCoy Tyner, Kelly Clarkson, Janelle Monae, Ozzy Osbourne, Lucinda Williams, Tori Amos,

Wynonna, Keane, and many more. In addition to the high-profile artists, the roster of judges

also included five record label presidents as well as other industry leaders, offering songwriters

the unprecedented opportunity to have their music heard by influential decision-makers. See

below for the complete list of judges.

For a complete list of 2011 ISC winners and to hear the winning songs, go to http://www.songwritingcompetition.com/winners

Winning ISC’s highest honor is New Zealand’s latest export, the quirky and wonderfully eclectic artist Kimbra. Kimbra has recently exploded onto the international music charts as the featured singer on Australian artist Gotye’s current #1 hit song, “Somebody That I Used To Know.” Her recent TV performances with Gotye on Jimmy Kimmel Live and Saturday Night Live were electrifying and introduced her to the US public, fortifying her meteoric rise to fame.

Only 22 years old, Kimbra began writing songs and performing at the age of 10. Spending her early years gigging around her native New Zealand, it was only once Kimbra borrowed a small eight-track recorder from her school’s music department that her songwriting blossomed in earnest. Since then, she has made enormous strides in her career. Her debut album, Vows, was released in 2011 in New Zealand and Australia, and in its first week of release the album charted at #3 in New Zealand and #5 in Australia (peaking at #4 on the ARIA Charts). The album will be released in the US and Canada on May 22.

Accolades include winning the 2011 NZ Critics’ Choice awards and also the Best Female Artist for “Cameo Lover” at the 2011 ARIA awards.

Even at such a young age, Kimbra already possesses great maturity and musical sophistication. Candace Avery, the Founder and Director of ISC, says this of Kimbra:

“We first became aware of Kimbra in 2010 when she entered ISC and won First Place in the Pop/Top 40 category with her song ‘Settle Down.’ At that time we knew she was one of those artists who had “it”. As a songwriter, her eclectic and somewhat quirky songwriting made her stand out. As an artist, she brings her songs to life with her unique vocal styling and compelling stage presence. Kimbra is rapidly establishing herself as a significant talent and a fresh and exciting new voice on the international music scene. We are proud to have her as our 2011 Grand Prize winner.”

Michael Perryman, CEO, Tri-Co Federal Credit Union, Randolph, NJ

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 07, 2012

Credit unions in Randolph, NJ; Bridgewater, MA, and Porcupine Plain (Saskatchewan), Canada, have recently selected Dallas-based On Your Way (OYW) as their web portal solution for engaging, educating and retaining Generation Y (ages 18-32) members and prospects.

On Your Way, a fee-based service firm, offers a fresh, comprehensive approach to marketing to young adults. More than 60 credit unions from coast to coast with assets of $ 24 million to $ 2 billion now use services from the four-year-old company to reach young adults referred to as GenYs or Millennials. (http://www.info.onyourway.com.)

The newest clients are Tri-Co Federal Credit Union in Randolph, the Bridgewater (MA) Credit Union and Porcupine Credit Union Limited, OYW’s third Canadian customer.

“Tri-Co has seen member education as a top priority for years, whether it be for products, services or financial literacy,” said Michael R. Prettyman, President and Chief Executive Officer. (http://www.tricofcu.com/) “On Your Way fits nicely with our philosophy of keeping education interactive, lively and straight forward.”

Margaret A. Frey, Tri-Co’s VP-Lending/Operations and COO, added: “We see Gen Y as our future. We are primarily a teachers’ credit union and a SEG-based credit union. However, like a lot of our contemporary institutions, we see an aging membership when we look at our demographics.

“We realized this for years and have been shifting our product and service offerings to attract a younger clientele,” Frey emphasized. “Along with e-services to attract younger members, On Your Way did well when tested with our youthful membership base.”

Tri-Co has assets of $ 153.6 million and about 14,000 members, with almost 15% of those ages 14-35 and about 44% of them 55 years or older. Membership is open to students in two of the three counties that Tri-Co serves.

“We are doing better with this age category than our peers, but we are not happy,” Prettyman conceded. “There is so much more to do. …we spend a great deal of time in the schools. However, the format and excitement that On Your Way offers really trumps most of the financial literacy courses and curricula out there.”

“Our company motto is ‘Get there,’” said Jared Cahill, a Co-founding Partner in the financial education website serving credit unions since 2008. “We help credit Unions work smarter, not harder to attract and retain the growing monetary power of this market segment.

“We’re educating while communicating in a style that Gen Ys expect and prefer,” explained the 31-year financial services veteran. “This population segment is struggling with the current economic climate, student loans and debt, lending and basic financial needs. We reward them for their time, attention and referrals.”

“We see On Your Way as helping us convert this (young) demographic to being members,” said James C. Dufford, VP-Marketing at Tri-Co. “More importantly, we see On Your Way as being ‘sticky,’ the kind of service members keep coming back to. So, besides attracting members, we expect it to help maintain the younger member, who will move on if bored or not challenged.”

On a week day basis, OYW provides educational articles, an interactive blog and links back to the credit union’s main website. It rewards visitors for coming to the site and taking action. Cahill believes the service “can create a larger pool of borrowers and ensure they are familiar and loyal to the credit union before wealth passes to them from their parents.”

“According to wealth-watchers, Gen Y is expected to inherit more than $ 1 trillion by 2030,” he explained. “Credit Unions must be more aggressive and better skilled if they are to get their share of these customers and to help them prudently managed their financial assets.”

Each OYW client can personalize the site with its own brand colors, logo and customized content. The latter is important, because OYW has discovered that the stake holders for financial literacy are lending departments. Typical weekly maintenance time is less than 30 minutes.

Additionally, through OYW credit unions can cost-effectively offer the award-winning, online, game-based MoneyU course to help improve the financial skills and well-being of their young adult members.

The credit unions can even generate revenue on the course, which takes content relevant to college and high school students and presents it in a dynamic medium to help them become financially skilled and knowledgeable in six to eight hours. (http://www.moneyu.com) Currently, 80% of learners flunk the pretest, but 98% pass the post-test.

On Your way offers a 30-minute, one-on-one, live e-tour of its program with a key partner providing an overview of its program’s foremost features. For more info: http://www.info.onyourway.com.

“Gen Y is more mobile, more interactive and more connected than ever before. With the right messages, tools and approaches, credit unions can cost-effectively attract, inform, inspire and reward their young adult members in a sophisticated, ‘connected’ and personalized approach,” Cahill stated.

The consultant believes Gen Yers are eager to learn how C.U. products and services will help them manage their income and assets. They can become loyal members as well as voluntarily recommend their credit union to friends and peers, he contends.

“Experience indicates that time and patience are required to win Gen Y’s trust,” he observed. “Mere newspaper ads no longer cut it. Targeted direct mail campaigns, opt-in e-mail educational and lifestyle messages and web-based, read-and-reward systems are vital. Once on board, these members prove to be exceptionally loyal.”

Gift cards, electronic gear and video game systems comprise OYW rewards. The CU’s Gen-Y members receive qualifying points by visiting the website on a regular basis, by referring their friends to the client credit union and by using more of the CU’s products and services.

The progressive, fun website has occasional, entertaining videos and takes only minutes to read. Subjects range from “Why am I upside down on my car loan?” to “How to select a wedding planner” to “Should I have a joint account before marriage?” An extensive library of financial topics is available for easy searches.

In addition to assisting with viral marketing campaigns, On Your Way also produces direct mail postcards and in-branch advertising for its clients to help attract member-readers and to remind them of the website.

Winter Park, FL (PRWEB) April 27, 2012

Full Sail University is proud to partner with the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame by hosting a special screening on campus in the Full Sail Live venue this Friday, April 27th of the documentary “Goose” featuring the story of Hall of Fame legend Reece “Goose” Tatum who was elected as a member of the Class of 2011. The event will also include a Question and Answer opportunity with former Harlem Globetrotter player and owner Mannie Jackson who produced the film. At the conclusion of the event, Mannie will hold a book signing of his memoir “Boxcar to Board Rooms.”

“The Basketball Hall of Fame is proud to support the documentary ‘Goose’ as it celebrates the life of one of the true pioneers in the game of basketball,” said John L. Doleva, President & CEO of the Basketball Hall of Fame. “We also salute Mannie Jackson for supporting this incredible story that needed to be told.”

“It’s an honor for Full Sail to present the first public screening of this wonderful documentary,“ said Josh Mora, Program Director of Sports Marketing & Media at Full Sail University. “It is perhaps an even greater honor that we get to share the amazing stories of two basketball and entrepreneurial legends – Goose Tatum and Mannie Jackson – in a way that will inspire our students in their future careers.”

The film chronicles Goose’s son, Reece Tatum III, and his journey to rediscover the story of his father, Goose Tatum, a man who many believe is among the most influential athletes in history. Reece III was just nine years old when his father died, but his memories of life on the road with the most famous athlete in the world in the 1940s and 1950s offer a unique perspective about the man who inspired hope for a generation of African Americans.

A true sports icon, Goose possessed a rare combination of basketball talent and comedic genius, which made him a household name around the world. He was more than just the original “clown prince” of the Harlem Globetrotters. In 1948 and 1949, Goose was a key part of the famous Globetrotters team that beat George Mikan and the world champion Minneapolis Lakers in a memorable moment in basketball history. His impact on the game is timeless as he invented plays such as the no-look pass and the no-look hook shot. With beginnings in Negro League baseball prior to his basketball career, Goose went on to become one of the most dynamic athletes of his time and the highest paid athlete in the world. In a segregated society, Goose reached across color lines to appeal to fans of all races. At the peak of his international fame and fortune, he did the unthinkable when he left the Globetrotters, pioneering the concept of free agency.

The event will take place at the Full Sail Live Venue, 141 University Park Drive in Winter Park, Florida. Doors open at 2:30 pm and the film will begin at 3:00 pm sharp. Limited seating is available on a first-come first-serve basis. The Q&A session will be available via live stream and can be accessed by using the link provided here: http://www.livestream.com/fullsailuniversity

Dress Rehearsal for Olympic Torch Relay takes place today

(PRWEB) April 20, 2012

Today the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) is holding a full dress rehearsal to test the operations around the Olympic Torch Relay – presented by Coca-Cola, Lloyds TSB and Samsung. The rehearsal is taking place on the Leicester to Peterborough stretch of the Relay route and is the culmination of the Olympic Torch Relay test schedule. Previous tests have focused on torch performance, hotel operations, desk top exercises and testing the vehicle convoy.

Dress Rehearsal covers the Relay route from Leicester to Peterborough
Rehearsal day to test operational elements of the Relay
122 students and participants acting as Torchbearers

The Leicester to Peterborough stretch of the Relay was chosen because it will test every element of the Relay including convoy splits and alternate modes of transport. It represents a typical day of the Relay including both rural and city locations and is the first time that elements such as crew, convoy and communications are being tested. The convoy consists of 14 core vehicles, including a pilot car, Torchbearer drop-off and pick-up shuttles, Presenting Partner vehicles, a media vehicle, a command car and security vehicles.

The rehearsal is an operational rather than a spectator event as there is no evening celebration and no Flame, meaning that torches will not be lit. The exercise is also a chance for host communities to experience how the Relay looks and operates in advance of the Olympic Torch Relay start at Land’s End on 19 May 2012.

A crew of approximately 400 people are working on the dress rehearsal; a typical day on the Relay will include around 370 people. The rehearsal will test rotational team members and allow each of them to test their individual roles. Core teams of LOCOG staff, the Metropolitan Police Torch Security Team, Presenting Partners, host Police Forces and host Local Authorities are working together in a live environment for the first time.

Photos from today’s Olympic Torch Relay rehearsal will be available to download throughout the day. Broadcast footage will be available on request from footage@london2012.com

Sebastian Coe, Chair of LOCOG, said: ‘The dress rehearsal is a great opportunity to test all parts of the Olympic Torch Relay. I would like to thank the host Local Authorities and Police Forces for working with us on this rehearsal.

‘Tests are essential to ensure the smooth running of our operations around the Torch Relay. When all the final elements are added for the Relay itself the excitement will really build for the start of the London 2012 Games and the UK will get its moment to shine.’

During the dress rehearsal, the convoy will pass through 12 communities along an 80-mile route. Starting the day in Leicester and continuing through Quorn, Loughborough, Hoton, Wymeswold, Asfordby, Melton Mowbray, Langham, Oakham, Uppingham and Stamford before finishing in Peterborough. 122 participants are acting as Torchbearers during the rehearsal. These participants have been recruited through the host Local Authorities, the Relay’s three Presenting Partners and from the Royal College of the Blind, Loughborough College and Leicester, De Montfort, Loughborough and Northampton universities.

The Olympic Torch Relay will start at Land’s End, Cornwall on the morning of 19 May 2012. On leaving Land’s End, the Olympic Flame will travel an estimated 8,000 miles around the UK giving thousands of communities and individuals their moment to shine as the Olympic Flame comes to a place near them.

The Relay will take the Olympic Flame to within ten miles of 95% of the population and will showcase as much of the UK as possible. The route for the rehearsal and for all 70 days of the Olympic Torch Relay were devised after extensive consultation with representatives in each nation and region.

James Williams, Director, Olympic Torch Relay, The Coca-Cola Company, said: ‘With just a few short weeks to go before the Olympic Flame arrives in the UK, we’re really excited to be putting our Torch Relay operations to the test during the Leicester to Peterborough Dress Rehearsal. We’ll be unveiling our ‘Beat Fleet’ – the vehicles that will travel around the UK galvanising nationwide support the Relay and for our Future Flames, the inspirational people we have chosen as Torchbearers. We can’t wait for Relay to begin on the May 19th and for everyone around the UK to share in the magic of London 2012 by lining the streets to celebrate their local Future Flames!’

Sally Hancock, Director, 2012 Partnership and Group Sponsorship at Lloyds Banking Group, said: ‘As the National Presenting Partner of the London 2012 Olympic Torch relay Lloyds TSB is bringing the Olympic Flame closer to our customers and communities. For Lloyds TSB, the Relay binds all of our programmes together in 2012; allowing us to continue to take the inspiration and excitement of the Games to the heart of communities across the UK.

‘Our Torchbearers will be representing their local communities, Local Heroes will be carrying the Flame for their sport and young athletes all over the UK; schools will be lining the route and helping us celebrate along the way, and with branches on nearly every high street we’re inviting our customers and the local community to celebrate with us as the Torch passes their front doors. The test event brings us one step closer to the start of the Relay and the moment when every corner of Britain will start to feel the excitement of London 2012.’

Mr Sunny Hwang, Vice President & Head of Global Sports Marketing, Samsung Electronics, said: ‘Today is about fine tuning the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay logistics and as Samsung thrives on robust testing, we’re delighted to be part of this final run through. The dress rehearsal marks nearly two years of creative and logistics planning by Samsung with LOCOG, so as a Presenting Partner this is a tremendously important milestone in our London 2012 journey. This is a very exciting time for everyone and we look forward to welcoming all our Olympic Torchbearers and Olympic fans from across the UK and around world. I believe this will be the very best Olympic Torch Relay in the history of the modern Olympic movement and we’re extremely proud to be playing our part in making it happen.’

San Jose, California (PRWEB) April 20, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn – As a combined design and production approval for parts and components in the aircraft aftermarket, the number of applications for obtaining PMA from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is steadily on the rise. Given the lucrative opportunities in the aircraft aftermarket and the growing competitiveness and emphasis on quality, components manufacturers are increasingly seeking the coveted airworthiness certification from FAA for safety and quality assurance. Growing awareness over the reliability, quality, durability and cost benefits offered by PMA parts is leading to increased acceptance of PMA parts worldwide, which in turn in generating opportunities for the international community to produce high quality, safe PMA parts. Against this backdrop, there continues to be a steady increase in the number of FAA-approved Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) firms in Asia. Also, increased outsourcing of MRO operations to Asia Pacific, as a result of rising economic and competitive pressures in developed nations and low cost labor in Asian countries, is helping drive the dynamics of the PMA parts market in the region.

Growth in the PMA approved parts market, in the upcoming years, will be driven by rising average life of aircrafts and the ensuing opportunities in the aftermarket created by maintenance needs. PMA engine parts in the MRO sector are poised to record the maximum gains, given that engine maintenance is evolving into a major business worldwide with spending on engine maintenance accounting for over 40% of total annual MRO spends. The increase in the number of operational aircrafts and in the average flying hours per aircraft and the ensuing rise in engine utilization will continue to generate opportunities for aircraft engine MRO with engine overhaul activities trickling down as potential sales opportunities for PMA parts. Demand for PMA parts will also increase in sync with the growing focus of airline companies on cost efficiencies. PMA parts, in this regard, are cheaper than OEM products as PMA provides better economies of scale than original manufacturing. PMA brings about substantial savings in material costs, and these savings lower the prices of PMA products for consumers and increase the profit margins for airline operators. The future will continue to witness an explosion in the number and types of PMA parts available to the consumer. With the sophistication in new generation aircraft models, comes complexly designed components, which require PMA parts to be equally scalable and reliable. Innovation in new technologies in manufacture of PMA parts will help benefit the PMA market, as managing and understanding sophisticated mechatronic systems becomes easier.

Given that aftermarket sales in the aerospace industry are closely tied to air traffic trends, aftermarket suppliers in the commercial aerospace sector in Europe currently remain nervous over the play out of the sovereign debt crisis drama. Given the yet mixed signals emanating from the handling of the region’s debt crisis, sentiments in the PMA parts market continues to swing between hope and concerns. At the pessimistic end of the spectrum, bearish market outlook indicate that in the event of an escalation in the severity of the crisis, the ensuing declines in air traffic and capacity surpluses will likely result in stringent management of inventories such as inventory destocking, and delays in implementation of maintenance, repair, and overhaul programs. This thereby would negatively impact the PMA parts market. There also exist fears over austerity measures likely to be initiated to counter the crisis, since austerity measures such as increased taxes, freeze on salaries in the public sector and lesser access to credit, will impact leisure travel. Weakening of trade in Europe could also likely result in lower load factors as exporters and importers shift to other cheaper modes of cargo transport. Limited visibility surrounding the sovereign debt woes, and the prolonged confusion over the appropriate measure to contain the damage, is expected to heighten the risk of possible reduction in both airline passenger and cargo capacity growth. This in turn will increase the number of parked aircrafts thus yielding a detrimental impact on the PMA parts market.

While no easy and immediate solutions exist for Europe’s macroeconomic imbalances, Europe remains a wildcard with the economic health of the region forecast to be the sum of the solutions adopted to resolve the crisis. While the potential outcomes of the crisis remain numerous, baseline market sentiments currently accumulate at the optimistic end of the spectrum. Current economic data that leaves room for hope include Germany’s relative resilience in handling the euro zone crisis, which is helping strengthen confidence levels. Heartening economic data such as comparatively lower levels of unemployment, better trade surplus accounts, and stable industrial output and manufacturing indices, indicate that the real German economy has not yet been impacted by the crisis as feared. Also forced austerity measures implemented in Greece to reduce the country’s widening deficits, are less likely to be adopted in relatively stronger economies with lower debt loads like in Germany, Spain and Italy. This is primarily because of the growing acceptance of the counterproductive implications of such a strategy on GDP growth in an economy. In addition, year 2011 ended on an encouraging note with tourism performance, as indicated by the level of airline bookings and hotel occupancy rates, posting encouraging growth. Airline capacity in Europe therefore increased in 2011 as was mirrored by the increase in available seat kilometers. Interestingly, political conflicts and unrest in Middle East and Northern Africa is re-channeling tourist traffic to Southern Europe. Also, the depreciation of the Euro amidst the pressures exerted by the eurozone debt drama is expected to positively benefit tourism in Europe with the number of middle class Asian tourists to the region poised to increase. Paradoxically, the weak economic climate will put PMA products in the limelight, given its inherent cost effectiveness. The PMA parts market in Europe is therefore expected to hold up in the year 2012 despite the debt crisis.
