StandardAero acquires Unified Turbines in all-cash transaction

StandardAero has acquired Unified Turbines, LLC (Unified Turbines) in an all-cash transaction. Unified Turbines marks StandardAero’s 14th acquisition since 2015 and its eighth within the Component Repair Services (CRS) segment.

Founded in 1997 and operating from 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 powering a variety of turboprop aircraft, including the King Air, Cessna Caravan, Pilatus PC-12, ATR 42 and 72, and De Havilland Dash 7 and Dash 8 regional aircraft, among other platforms. Unified Turbines has also been a high-performing StandardAero vendor since 2001.

The acquisition adds critical engine component repair capabilities across key engine platforms where StandardAero already holds a strong market position, including Pratt & Whitney’s PT6A and PW100 turboprop engine families. These capabilities are closely aligned with StandardAero’s Engine Services segment, which uses faster component repair turnaround times to deliver high-performance solutions to customers.

“Unified Turbines represents a strategic addition to StandardAero and supports our commitment to disciplined, value-accretive growth,” said Russell Ford, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of StandardAero. “This acquisition expands our capabilities across several key turboprop platforms where we already support a large global customer base, while strengthening the technical depth we provide throughout our MRO network. Unified Turbines has been a trusted partner for years, and bringing its expertise in-house will create meaningful value for our customers and shareholders as we continue to pursue our strategic growth priorities.”

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