An Arizona-based aerospace service provider recently opened a new 206,000-sq. ft. repair facility in Cincinnati, Ohio, directly adjacent to its current 236,000 sq. ft. component repair facility, nearly doubling its capacity.
StandardAero Component Services hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by city and state of Ohio officials, local economic development executives, customers, company officials, and other guests.
The facility will accommodate component repair growth on new and legacy platforms, aero-derivative, military and commercial aircraft engine component repair, as well as larger components. Once fully operational, StandardAero expects to employ 200-300 new technicians to continue to meet the growing demands of customers over the next 12-18 months.
“As new engine platforms are launched and legacy fleets are still maintained, the entire industry is seeing tremendous growth. Demand for component repair has increased so we are stepping up to directly support our customers and address the continued and rapid need for more component repair capacity,” said Rick Stine, president of StandardAero Components, Helicopters & Accessories.
During 2018, StandardAero also increased shop capacity by an additional 60,000 sq. ft. with expansions of its facilities in Hillsboro, Ohio and Miami locations.
