Today, Turbomeca (SAFRAN Group) announced its decision to award the corporate mandate for tooling support to Turbomeca Canada. This decision was made based on a need to centralize and optimize the procurement, administration and distribution of all tooling to Turbomeca customers worldwide.
Turbomeca Canada’s proven accomplishments and successful growth since its inauguration in January 2003, combined with Quebec’s strong industrial aerospace network, made the difference in this strategic choice.
This mandate will generate new jobs as well as economic benefits to the growing aerospace industry in Quebec. Turbomeca Canada plans to invest $1M CDN into this project and add 3,200 square feet to its existing facility.
The worldwide tooling support mandate enhances Turbomeca Canada’s current services of maintenance, repair and overhaul for the Arriel 1 and Arriel 2 engines and accessories as well as customer support for North American operators.
