With rapid growth on the horizon, StandardAero has opened a component repair facility in Cincinnati and expects to hire another 200 to 300 employees to meet demand from customers. The company has posted more than 70 open positions at its new location, which offers 206,000 sq ft of shop space next door to the company's previously existing 236,000-sq-ft facility. The added component repair shop features new flooring, lighting, and HVAC systems.

“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. The added facility will support aeroderivative, military, and civil engine component repair, along with component repair growth on new and legacy platforms.

Meanwhile, the company also expanded shop capacity at its Hillsboro, Ohio, and Miami locations this year. Funding for all expansions this year will exceed $20 million upon completion. “We are continuing to invest to accommodate overall increasing volumes for StandardAero as well as to continue to provide the aerospace industry’s best delivery performance for component repair and manufacturing services,” said Stine.
