RH Aero Systems (RH Aero) has announced a series of major developments that underscore its continued growth and strategic alignment with both customers and partners across the aviation industry. These milestones include a new training partnership with Safran Aircraft Engine Services Brussels, a renewed tooling licence agreement with CFM International, and a significant expansion of operations at its U.S. base in Mason, Ohio.

In the latest step forward in their long-standing collaboration, RH Aero and Safran Aircraft Engine Services Brussels have entered into a new strategic training agreement. This initiative supports Safran’s current industrial ramp-up and marks the first time RH Aero will deliver comprehensive training in CFM LEAP engine maintenance. Covering everything from engine manual comprehension to module piece part handling, this tailored programme reinforces both companies’ commitment to operational readiness, skill development, and long-term success in the aftermarket sector.

Meanwhile, RH Aero, through its businesses Rhinestahl Corporation and Hydro Systems KG, has secured a ten-year renewal of its CFM LEAP tooling licence agreement. This renewal confirms RH Aero’s position as a CFM Licensed Supplier for LEAP Tooling, authorised to manufacture, sell, and support tooling for the LEAP-1A, LEAP-1B, and LEAP-1C engine programmes. CFM International is a joint venture between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines.

To support growing demand across North America, RH Aero is also expanding its Mason West facility, located just north of Cincinnati. The site is being developed into a key production, assembly, and service hub for ground support equipment and tooling solutions. By localising these operations, the company aims to shorten lead times, improve flexibility, and reduce reliance on international logistics. The company has also commissioned a hydraulic test stand capable of handling up to 55 metric tonnes, enhancing its ability to perform production and proof load testing while ensuring adherence to global quality standards.
