The IMF team delivers high-quality aircraft interiors with expert craftsmanship across panelling, upholstery and cabinetry.

Textron Aviation has celebrated the 10-year anniversary of its Interiors Manufacturing Facility (IMF), highlighting its role in crafting custom interiors for Cessna and Beechcraft aircraft.

Originally acquired and rebranded in 2015, the Wichita-based IMF expanded in 2024 to 16,000 square feet, supporting new models like the Citation M2 Gen2, CJ4 Gen2 and Beechcraft Denali. The facility integrates energy-efficient upgrades, including LED lighting and high-efficiency systems.
