Pecca Aviation

What Pecca Aviation does

Pecca Aviation Services Sdn Bhd (PASSB) is the wholly-owned aviation subsidiary of Malaysia-listed Pecca Group Berhad (Bursa Malaysia: PECCA, listed since 2016). It manufactures leather and fabric aircraft seat dress covers, headrest covers, and armrest covers, and provides certified aircraft seat refurbishment, repair, and reconfiguration services covering leather, fabric, plastic, and fiberglass cabin materials. Production runs under EASA Production Organisation Approval (POA) C2 — making PASSB the first and only Malaysian company to hold this certification — and CAAM Part 145 AMO C6 rating, with machinery sourced from the United States, Germany, and Italy, and a Serendah facility under construction to roughly double combined group capacity from 20,000–22,000 to approximately 40,000 seats per month.

PASSB generates revenue through direct B2B sales of certified seat covers and MRO refurbishment services to airlines, MRO providers, and aircraft operators, with higher unit pricing and margins than the parent's automotive leather upholstery business. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise outreach, channel partnerships (Global Component Asia for MRO distribution; Aero Cabin Solutions SAS for Asia-Pacific one-stop interior solutions), and event-driven lead generation at summits such as MyAERO, Malaysia Aerospace Summit, and Aircraft Interiors Expo Hamburg. Recent MOUs with Myanmar Airways International (MAI) and ARIS at MyAERO Summit 2026 indicate a push into Southeast Asia, while exploratory discussions with Betamek Berhad point to a parallel move into rail and locomotive interiors.

The aviation segment is one of three reported business pillars (alongside automotive leather upholstery — which contributes the bulk of Pecca Group's RM221.26 million FY2023 revenue and RM35.4 million record net profit — and healthcare). Aviation operates at sub-scale within the group today but is positioned as a growth pillar: the EASA POA unlocks access to all EASA-registered aircraft globally, and parent-group net cash of RM100 million and a RM1 billion market capitalisation milestone in FY2023 provide capital for capacity expansion, internationalisation, and adjacent vertical moves.

Revenue model

1. Aircraft Seat Cover Manufacturing (OEM): Pecca Aviation manufactures and supplies certified leather and fabric seat covers for aircraft interiors to airline customers and MRO providers. Revenue is generated through the sale of aircraft seat dress covers, headrest covers, and armrest covers manufactured under EASA POA and CAAM Part 145 certifications. Aircraft upholstery commands better pricing and margins compared to automotive seat covers. Currently serves Malaysian-registered aircraft and EASA-registered aircraft globally following EASA certification.
2. Aircraft Seat Refurbishment and MRO Services: Pecca Aviation provides aircraft seat refurbishment, repair, and reconfiguration services, encompassing the full lifecycle of cabin interior management — manufacturing, replacement, repair, and refurbishment of leather, fabric, plastic, and fiberglass aviation materials. Revenue is generated through service fees for MRO services delivered under its certified capabilities, serving airlines and MRO providers in Malaysia and the Asia-Pacific region.
3. Automotive Leather Upholstery (Parent Group): Pecca Group (parent) generates revenue through the styling, manufacturing, distribution, and installation of upholstery for seat covers in the automotive industry. This includes OE Leather Seat Covers supplied to Tier 1 car seat manufacturers for OEM market, and Smart Fit/Quick Fit aftermarket covers for the REM (Replacement Equipment Manufacturer) market. The automotive segment is the primary revenue driver for the group, contributing the bulk of FY2023 revenue of RM221.26 million.
4. Automotive Interior Accessories and Customisation: Revenue is generated from premium interior accessories including car door trim, steering wheels, gear shift knobs, handbrake levers, console boxes, car floor mats (TurboSeat), and car interior refurbishment services.
