Textron Aviation recently marked the 10-year
anniversary of its Interiors Manufacturing Facility
in Wichita, Kansas. In 2015, the company acquired
and rebranded the IMF facility. In 2024, the facility’s

aircraft interiors manufacturing. From side and
overhead paneling and upholstery stitching to the
cabinetry throughout the cabin, operators and artisans
use advanced technology to create and personalize
each interior furnishing.
