StandardAero has acquired Unified Turbines in an all-cash transaction to expand hot section component repair capabilities for Pratt &amp; Whitney and Honeywell turboprop engines. The acquisition is StandardAero’s 14th since 2015, and the eighth acquisition in its component repair services segment. Terms were not disclosed.
Founded in 1997, Unified Turbines operates an FAA repair station in Milton, Vermont, providing hot section component repair and overhaul services for PT6A engines powering King Airs, Cessna Caravans, and Pilatus PC-12s, as well as PW100s found on ATR 42s and 72s and de Havilland Canada Dash 7s and 8s. The company has been a StandardAero vendor since 2001.
For StandardAero, the acquisition adds component repair capabilities on the PT6A and PW100 turboprop engine families. Faster component repair turnaround times support the company’s engine services operations.
“This acquisition expands our capabilities on several key turboprop platforms where we already serve a large global customer base,” said StandardAero chairman and CEO Russell Ford.&nbsp;Unified Turbines will be aligned with StandardAero’s component repair services segment.
