The newly formed Timken Aerospace Aftermarket Solutions business unit is at Heli-Expo this week (Booth No. 3718) to discuss its expanded capabilities brought about by Timken’s acquisition last October of the Arizona turbine engine parts manufacturing firm Extex.

Larry Shiembob, general manager for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) at the new facility in Mesa, Ariz., said that Extex, before its acquisition by Timken, “did a very good job of supplying parts. Our key message here at Heli- Expo is that now we have the ability to do much more.” Shiembob was president of Extex when the Gilbert, Ariz.-based parts provider became part of Timken. The operation was then moved several miles to Timken’s 85,000-sq-ft facility adjacent to the Boeing and MD Helicopters plants next to Mesa’s Falcon Field airport.
