Essential Turbines, a North American provider of engine and component MRO services, has completed its acquisition of AeroMaritime Mediterranean (AML), a Malta-based Rolls-Royce authorised MRO centre (AMROC).

With this milestone, the business will now operate as Essential Turbines Malta, joining a network of operations in North America and extending its strategic footprint into the Euro-Mediterranean region. The site brings over 45 years of expertise, a team of 36 MRO professionals and full AMROC capabilities, including a 1,000 shp test cell and propeller test stand.

“This is a pivotal moment for Essential Turbines,” says Gannon Gambeski, president of ETI. “The addition of Essential Turbines Malta strengthens our ability to serve customers globally and reflects our commitment to scalable, strategic growth. We're proud to welcome the team to ETI and to build on the strong foundation established under ITP Aero.”

The integration of Essential Turbines Malta supports the firm's long-term growth strategy, which focuses on expanding core market leadership in the RR250/300 platforms, advancing additional strategic engine programmes with OEM partnerships and adding MRO capabilities and regional presence through targeted acquisitions and partnerships.

For Essential Turbines customers, the acquisition means greater proximity and agility in service delivery across Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Current service levels will be maintained, with integration focused on improving consistency, collaboration and enhanced value across all locations.

The move reinforces the company's people-first approach to growth. The Malta team brings deep technical experience and regional insight that will enrich the operational culture and capability set.

“We are investing in people, platforms and global reach to scale our mission,” notes Elias Lebovits, managing partner of Swift Anchor Holdings, ETI's lead shareholder. “The acquisition of ETI Malta marks another important step in ETI's evolution as a high-performance MRO partner to the world's leading operators and OEMs.”
