SR Technics has inaugurated a state-of-the-art engine maintenance facility in Zurich, Switzerland, dedicated to servicing Pratt & Whitney GTF™ engines, along with the successful reconstruction of a second test cell. This facility marks the 17th active location within the global GTF MRO network and will provide full disassembly, assembly and testing for PW1100G-JM engines used in the A320neo-family of aircraft.
An official opening ceremony was held in Zurich, featuring an exclusive tour of the new shop floor and Test Cell 2. Attendees included representatives from Pratt & Whitney, FOCA, local authorities, business partners, shareholders, and SR Technics employees. The event showcased the cutting-edge infrastructure, reflecting SR Technics' commitment to innovation and growth within the aviation sector.
SR Technics joined Pratt & Whitney's GTF MRO network in April 2022, bolstering its repair capabilities and competitiveness by expanding its highly skilled workforce in Switzerland. The company has invested double-digit-millions of Swiss francs into its Zurich-Airport site, equipping it with special tools and dedicated maintenance equipment. SR Technics expects to service over 1,000 GTF engines throughout the agreement's lifespan, having begun work on its first engine in July 2024.
“During the last 18 months, the SR Technics' team has put great work into setting up new teams and new infrastructure. We are grateful for all the support received from
our partners involved in this complex project. This investment paves a new chapter for future business in our company,” said Owen McClave, Chief Executive Officer at SR
Technics. “SR Technics will play an integral role in supporting the growing GTF fleet around the world,” said Rob Griffiths, Senior Vice President, Commercial Engines Operations at Pratt & Whitney. “With their extensive experience over more than nine decades, we are confident they will deliver the industry-leading services our customers expect.
