HAECO Composite Services, headquartered at Jinjiang in China, has expanded its business to the USA. Located within HAECO Americas’ headquarters at Greensboro, North Carolina, the new facility will include full composite shop capabilities. HAECO Americas has been offering composite repair services since 1998; the new composite shop, which meets growing demand, will be a standalone Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Repair Station.
HAECO Composite Services’ engineering expertise and workmanship, combined with its extensive rotable inventory, facilitate restoration and maintenance of complex composite structures. Core competencies of the new 60,000-square-foot US operation will include bonding, non-destructive testing, sheet metal fabrication, machining, welding (TIG/MIG) and tooling/hydraulics; its capabilities will extend to nacelle systems, airframe components and radomes. The composite shop is seeking European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) accreditation in addition to its FAA certification, and is an example of HAECO Group’s investment in building its service offering to meet future demand.
