Goodrich Corporation has completed a $1.5 million expansion to its Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facilities based in Sydney, Australia, and Montreal, Canada. These sites provide MRO support for helicopter servo-control actuators for customers in the Asia / Pacific region, Canada and North America. The company's existing maintenance centre in Paris, France, continues to perform maintenance for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
"Our investment in both the Sydney and Montreal facilities is a reflection of the significant growth within the Eurocopter fleet over the last several years, particularly in the civil sector. This expansion positions Goodrich for further growth in this market segment as we provide our customers with reduced turnaround times, improved quality and proximity benefits such as streamlined logistics, optimised repair cost and improved repair management," said Theunis Botha, President Actuation Systems.
Goodrich's hydraulic flight control actuators, vital components on all helicopters, are fitted on most of Eurocopter's range, from the Ecureuil range / A-Star AS350 / Bi-Star AS 355 / Eco-Star EC 130, to the light-weight Colibri EC120 and Dauphin AS365, and the heavy-duty Super Puma AS332.
