For aircraft component repair and overhaul specialist Able Aerospace, work on the landing gear of Boeing 737 Next Generation (NG) represents a new and significant piece of business. It's a big reason why the Textron Aviation unit spent $3 million on new equipment and undertook a 60,000-sq-ft facility expansion earlier this year. Such an investment could pay off in other ways, too, for the Mesa, Arizona-based company.
