A bit about us:

Founded more than four decades ago and based in East Windsor, CT, with additional operations in South Carolina and overseas, we are a specialized repair and overhaul provider serving the aerospace, aeroderivative gas turbine, and defense markets. Our FAA- and EASA-approved repair station tests, repairs, and overhauls engine accessories and components — fuel nozzles, valves, actuators, starters, harnesses, and related hardware — for airlines, MROs, engine centers, and OEM partners around the world.

We are a compact, technically deep team where quality is not a support function but the core of what we sell, and where the people doing the work have direct visibility into the aircraft and turbines their parts fly and run on.
