02/10/2015
Marana Aerospace Solutions is expanding its capabilities in Marana, Arizona. The company will add a complete end-of-life services solution, a hydraulic actuator overhaul and repair shop, and a wheel assembly shop for a wide variety of aircraft applications.

Located in Pinal Air Park, within 100 miles of Phoenix Sky Harbor international airport and 40 miles of Tucson International Airport, MAS currently provides overhaul and repair capabilities for flight controls, engine cowlings and pylons, landing gear doors, landing gear actuators, tubing fabrication and testing, and cargo system components for a variety of aircraft types.

According to MAS' new Senior Vice President of Operations, Greg Emerson, "We continue to add services that reduce our customers' costs and downtime. Our continued focus is to expand our capabilities to effectively support our customers and theirs."

In addition to these new capabilities, MAS is investing in additional narrow body tooling during the first quarter, with which to address its customers' needs – particularly in the A320 and 737 families. MAS' President/CEO, Jim Martin, explained that, "We have listened carefully to our customers, and have paid close attention to the market in North America. We believe this investment, together with some anticipated add on acquisitions, will position us well in 2015 and 2016."
