Enstrom Helicopter Corp is celebrating the opening of its brand new, FAA-approved repair station, number EHCR228E. The station operates within Enstrom's Menominee, Michigan factory and will provide helicopter maintenance, damage repairs, upgrades and component overhauls.

"This is a significant upgrade to what customers might have experienced before," says vice president of product support Doug Smith. "We've completely refurbished the facility with new equipment, tooling, storage and countless other quality-of-life improvements. It was a huge investment of time and resources, but the results speak for themselves."

All Enstrom repair station processes are in full compliance with the latest FAA requirements. Enstrom is now seeking approval from the EASA and UK CAA to better service customers in those regions.
