StandardAero's Winnipeg, Canada component repair facility  is slated for a multimillion-dollar investment that will include adding significant capabilities to its plating line. Manny Atwal, vice president of StandardAero Components in Canada, told AIN that the plating facility will expand by 20 percent to 3,000 sq ft. An improved layout and design will provide better process flow and room for R&D.

Its Winnipeg site is adding 38 tanks—a combination of solution and rinse tanks—that will allow it to provide more stripping and plating processes for chrome, electroless nickel, sulfamate nickel (hard and soft), cadmium (bright and non-bright), silver, copper and tin plating for aerospace parts and components. The project is slated to be finished by September.
