StandardAero is kicking off its 100th birthday celebration at this year’s Heli-Expo, marking milestones and accomplishments over the past 100 years, as well as some more recent achievements.

Originally founded as Standard Machine Works in Winnipeg, Canada, in 1911, the company has grown into one of the world’s largest independent repair and overhaul specialists supporting the aerospace industry. The helicopter program was launched in 1967 when StandardAero gained authorization from Allison Engine to perform repair and overhaul of the Allison (now Rolls-Royce) 250 turboshaft engine.
