StandardAero, a provider of aerospace engine aftermarket services including engine MRO and component repair, has acquired Unified Turbines in an all-cash transaction. Unified Turbines represents StandardAero's 14th acquisition since 2015 and eighth acquisition in its Component Repair Services (CRS) segment.

Founded in 1997 and operating out of its facility in Milton, Vermont, Unified Turbines is an FAA repair station. The company provides hot section component repair and overhaul services for a range of Pratt & Whitney and Honeywell engines that power a variety of turboprop aircraft, such as King Air, Cessna Caravan, Pilatus PC-12, ATR 42 and 72, and De Havilland Dash 7 and 8 regional aircraft, among several other platforms. Unified Turbines has been a high-performing StandardAero vendor since 2001.

The acquisition of Unified Turbines adds critical engine component repair capabilities on key engine platforms where StandardAero is already a market leader, including Pratt & Whitney's PT6A and PW100 turboprop engine families. These capabilities are highly synergistic with StandardAero's Engine Services segment, which leverages faster component repair turn-around times to deliver best-in-class solutions to its customers.

“Unified Turbines represents a strategic addition to StandardAero and supports our commitment to disciplined, value-accretive growth,” explains Russell Ford, StandardAero's chairman and chief executive officer. “This acquisition expands our capabilities on several key turboprop platforms where we already serve a large global customer base, while strengthening the technical depth we deliver across our MRO network. Unified Turbines has been a trusted partner to us for years, and bringing its expertise in-house will create meaningful value for our customers and stockholders as we continue to pursue our strategic growth priorities.”

Organisationally, Unified Turbines will be aligned with StandardAero's CRS segment, a core driver of strategic growth for StandardAero. The company has established more than 20,000 unique repairs across its broad portfolio of commercial, military, helicopter and aeroderivative engines served.
