DENVER--()--The International Titanium Association (ITA) will host the first TITANIUM ASIA 2018 conference and exhibition February 4th-5th, the day before the Singapore Airshow starts, at the Grand Hyatt Singapore.One backdrop to the Singapore gathering is that European aerospace giant Airbus recently announced plans to ramp up production of its A320 jets at an existing assembly facility near Beijing. A January 9th report by BBC News, along with a similar Airbus press statement, said the company expects to produce six A320 jets a month by the year 2020. Aerospace is a key, high-profile global business market for the titanium industry and much of the projected growth for the aerospace industry will be generated in the greater Asia region.

As it turns out, Nicole Lecca, the senior vice president of material and part procurement for Airbus, tops the roster of speakers for TITANIUM ASIA. Lecca has spent three decades with the aerospace company and last year was promoted to her current post, where she deals with metallic and composite raw materials, along parts procurement for all Airbus Group programs.

Henry Seiner, vice president of business strategy for Titanium Metals Corp. (TIMET), also will address the Singapore conference. Seiner, who serves as the chair of the ITA’s board of directors, has extensive experience in the aerospace sector, is responsible for TIMET international supply chain, and oversees the company’s marketing, product management, purchasing and production planning.
