Editor’s Corner Riding For The Brand
Cover
COVER STORY
The concept of “riding for the brand,” in a broader ThinBit Cutting Tools Made In sense, can symbolize a unified commitment to The USA! a shared purpose or value, potentially fostering unity in the USA. This idea, often associated with cowboys and their loyalty to a ranch or outfit, can Announcements/Releases.................... 6-14 be applied metaphorically to inspire a sense of collective responsibility and shared purpose among Feature Articles.......................1,20-21, 28-29 citizens, regardless of their background or beliefs. Buyers Guide Equipment Services......32-38 Buyers Guide Processes.......................39-45 Card Gallery.........................................34-45 “Unum” is a Latin word that translates to “one” or “a single thing”. It is the neuter singular form of the adjective “unus” (meaning one). The phrase “E pluribus unum,” which translates Index Of Advertisers................................46 to “out of many, one,” is a motto of the United States. Editorial................................... Throughout The United States of America was the first nation born out of an idea rather than a tribal identity. Our Constitution begins with a call that transformed subjects into citizens: “We the People.” The founders’ crystalized our mission with a national motto: e pluribus unum, “out of many, one”— and placed it above the eagle holding a cluster of arrows and an olive branch on the Great Seal of the United States. E Pluribus Unum remains the key to what makes America exceptional in the eyes of the world. America’s role as an imperfect but diverse democratic republic stands in clear contrast to the history of other nations—as well as the ethno-nationalist parties and surveillance state autocracies that are on the rise today. At our best, America remains a rebellious project against tribal and fundamentalist forces. And e pluribus unum is literally the opposite of “us against them”—the demagogues’ eternal calling card. • Shared Purpose and Values: “Riding for the brand” emphasizes the importance of working together towards a common goal, representing a shared commitment that transcends individual differences. • Loyalty and Trust: The phrase highlights the idea of loyalty and trust, suggesting that by focusing on shared values and working towards a common objective, individuals can build stronger bonds and foster greater unity. • Collective Responsibility: Just as cowboys are responsible for the well being of the ranch they work for, citizens can be encouraged to take ownership of the challenges and opportunities facing the country, fostering a sense of collective responsibility. • Beyond the Literal: The “brand” in this context is not limited to a literal mark. It can represent any shared value or purpose that unites individuals, such as a commitment to community, democracy, or social progress. We, the USA, are united as a team that loves our land, we love our freedom, and we fly our flag with pride as humans with a shared oneness. We are individuals with many differences, yet most all of us have 10 fingers and toes. We inhabit this great beautiful world we are fortunate to live on and we wear the emblem of humanity on our fingerprints, all-different, yet all very similar. In closing I would like to thank all of you humans for supporting our 3 regional manufacturing magazines. We are very proud of our precision manufacturing community and we would like to talk with you about working to promote your business through our regionally focused magazines.

Signs of Recovery Seen in Machine Tool Demand The latest monthly summary of machine tool orders shows U.S. machi ne shops and other manufacturers increased their capital investments to $389.9 million during February 2025, up 9.9% from January and up 12.5% from February 2024.The U.S. ManufacturingTechnology Orders report issued by AMT - the Assn. of ManufacturingTechnology shows the two-month total for manufacturing technology orders in 2025 is $744.74 million, 8.8% higher than the January-February 2024 total. “In addition to the uptick in the value of machinery ordered, unit sales have rebounded in 2025. For much of 2024, growth in the number of units sold lagged the increase in the total value of orders. That trend has reversed in 2025,” according to the summary statement by AMT.
The USMTO is a monthly summary of capital equipment purchases in order value and machine units, nationwide and in six regions. It serves as an indicator of future manufacturing activity because it quantifies machining operations’ investments in preparation for new production programs. In particular,AMT noted the improved results in the value of orders from contract machine shops, the largest buying segment for manufacturing technology. Those operations’ February orders were up nearly 25% from January. In contrast, AMT reported that aerospace manufacturers’ orders decreased “sharply” from January to February, although the number of units ordered rose “slightly.” Between those two readings, AMT noted that manufacturers of electrical equipment nearly doubled the number of machines ordered during February, and yet the total value of their orders was about even with January’s result. Whether the trend reversal AMT identified in the February data signals a long-anticipated, sustained recovery in demand is difficult to determine. AMT offered two alternative readings on the impact that widespread tariffs on imported products may have on demand for new machines: that businesses lowered stock valuations may reduce corporate earnings, and thus weaken business and consumer confidence; or, that businesses may choose to invest in new technology, in order to recover the profitability that may be lost due to reduced valuations.

GE Catalyst Turboprop Engine Gets FAA Nod By Chad Trautvetter •
“Certification of the Catalyst engine is a significant milestone for our company and a proud moment for all our team members who have dedicated their efforts to the design, development, and testing of this brand-new European turboprop engine,” said Riccardo Procacci, president and CEO for propulsion and additive technologies at GE Aerospace. “We are now fully committed to supporting the production ramp-up of the engine towards the entry into service in support of our customers.” The engine was designed, developed, and manufactured at GE Aerospace sites in Europe, including Avio Aero in Italy, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Germany.Test engines logged more than 8,000 hours during the certification process, GE said.
Powerplant is 18% more fuel efficient than others in the 1,200- to 1,400-shp class GE Aerospace on Thursday announced that its Catalyst turboprop engine has received FAA certification, the culmination of a program involving more than 23 engines and some 190 component tests.The company said Catalyst is the first clean-sheet advanced turboprop of the 21st century, as well as the first to be certified to the latest Part 33 standards, which include more than 20 significant new requirements. Textron Aviation’s Beechcraft Denali turboprop single, which is expected to enter service this year, is the launch platform for the new GE engine. A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •
12 • APR - MAY 2025
“Catalyst has been through a rigorous certification and testing process,” said Paul Corkery, Catalyst general manager at Avio Aero. “We are pleased with the performance of the engine throughout its ground and flight-test campaigns, and we remain fully focused on supporting Textron Aviation as they complete the certification process and prepare for entry into service of the Beechcraft Denali.” According to GE, the engine’s 16:1 overall pressure ratio enables up to 18% better fuel consumption and up to 10% higher cruise power versus competing engines in the same 1,200- to 1,400-shp class. Catalyst also features stator vane and turbine blade components made via additive manufacturing.
X-66 Model Breezes Through 1st Wind Tunnel Tests By Ekaterina Zygouras
B o e i n g ’s X - 6 6 S u s t a i n a bl e F l i g h t Demonstrator recently completed two initial wind tunnel tests using models of the X-66. Why it matter s: Before a full-size demonstrator of the X-66 can fly, the airplane’s design needs to be validated using smaller models of the airplane. The X-66 aims to revolutionize aviation with its transonic truss-braced wing design, potentially setting a new standard for sustainable air travel. The design integrates extra-long wings stabilized by diagonal struts, enhancing aerodynamic efficiency. A semi-span X-66 model was tested at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley in its 11-Foot Transonic Unitary Plan Facility. The model underwent tests representing expected flight conditions to obtain engineering information to influence design of the wing and provide data for flight simulators. The first was a low-speed test using a model of the X-66 with a nearly 6-foot wingspan at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.

The team captured measurements of forces such as lift and drag throughout many aerodynamic configurations and flight conditions. Next, a semi-span model of the X-66, designed to represent half the
aircraft, underwent high-speed testing at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley. This test replicated expected flight conditions to obtain engineering information to influence design of the wing and provide data for flight simulators. Semi-span tests take advantage of symmetry. The forces and behaviors on a model of half an aircraft mirror those on the other half. By using a larger half of the model, engineers increase the number of surface pressure measurements. What’s next: The data from these tests informed any design adjustments necessary before advancing to additional tests. A full-span model of the X-66 is currently undergoing high-speed wind tunnel testing at NASA’s Ames Research Center. A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

Gulfstream Deliveries, Revenues, and Earnings Soar in Q1
By Chad Trautvetter
First-quarter revenues at General Dynamics’ aerospace unit (Gulfstream Aerospace and Jet Aviation) climbed 45.2% year over year, to $3.026 billion, and earnings rocketed 69.4%, to $432 million. Meanwhile, aircraft deliveries at Gulfstream surged 50%, to 36 aircraft, General Dynamics reported today. Gulfstream shipped 30 large-cabin jets, including 13 G700s, and six super-midsize G280s in the quarter, up from 21 large-cabin jets and three G280s in the same period last year. According to General Dynamics chairman and CEO Phebe Novakovic, Gulfstream is projected to deliver 150 aircraft this year. She also noted that the last G650s will be delivered by July, with the newly certified G800 succeeding the older model, though Novakovic did not disclose when the first G800 would be handed over to its customer. Because of the ramp-up in deliveries, book-to-bill fell to 0.8:1, with aerospace backlog eroding by 4% from the end of 2024, to $18.99 billion. However, Novakovic pointed out that demand for Gulfstreams remains strong, particularly in the U.S. and Middle East, and the $2.4 billion in sales in the most recent three-month period matched that of the third quarter last year.

According to Novakovic, the supply chain is continuing to improve, with better component quality and less out-of-station work needed on the Gulfstream production lines. She largely avoided discussing how tariffs might affect the supply chain, but noted that Gulfstream jets have “large U.S. content” while acknowledging that the aerospace unit could be the most affected by tariffs of all divisions at General Dynamics. Novakovic also gave a shout-out to business aviation FBO and MRO provider Jet Aviation, which saw aviation services revenues rise by 8% in the quarter while earnings jumped 22%.
Fix Manufacturing Extension Programs, Don’t Defund Them The MEP, created during the Reagan administration to help small and mid-sized manufacturers improve productivity amid the rising threat of Japanese manufacturing, is not a household name. But across the country, it has quietly supported the small businesses that make up the heart of our industrial base. Let’s be honest. The program has become inefficient.

manufacturing processes. These are the kinds of projects that move small manufacturers forward. This matters, because the task ahead is enormous. Just last week, one of our customers, a Florida company that makes power systems for data centers, began moving sourcing from Canada to the U.S. due to the Trump Administration’s steel and aluminum tariffs. But the Canadian supplier was still beating us on cost. Wages and inputs were similar. What they had was greater efficiency. That moment was a wake-up call.The tariff helped bring business back, but now it’s on us to become competitive. This is when we turn to WCMP for help. As a small manufacturer, we rely on outside expertise to help us solve big problems, especially if new technologies are required. If we don’t act, our inefficiency simply becomes someone else’s inflation. That’s why Wisconsin’s continued support matters. The Wisconsin Economic Development Corp continues to support WMEP’s and MOC’s critical work.This is a meaningful vote of confidence from a state that knows manufacturing. We don’t have the resources of the federal government, but we’re spending what we can on this work because we’ve seen the impact. And so have our manufacturers. The MEP has bipartisan support. It has the backing of small businesses. And it is doing what policymakers say they want: helping American industry grow, compete, and modernize. A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

TSMC and Intel May Join Forces for New Chipmaking Effort New report hints that a new chipmaking partnership between Intel and TSMC could be announced soon.

A new chipmaking effort by two electronics manufacturing powerhouses may be in the making. According to a report published by The Information last week—and widely covered by a range of media outlets—Intel and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) have been working on a preliminary agreement to form a joint venture to operate the U.S. chipmaker’s factories. Citing the report, TechRepublic says TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, will take a 20% stake in the joint venture by contributing chipmaking expertise and staff training to Intel. “TSMC will hold a 20% stake in the joint venture, contributing not cash, but value through sharing its chipmaking practices and training Intel staff,” the publication reports. It goes on to say that rumors of a possible takeover of Intel emerged in February, with TSMC and Broadcom considering splitting the U.S. company’s manufacturing and design arms between them. “The following month, TSMC reportedly offered a share in its proposed acquisition of the chip foundries to NVIDIA and AMD, as well as Broadcom,” TechRepublic explains.

Supporting the Cause surprising tech turnarounds of the decade.” The publication also says that President Trump supports TSMC’s involvement with Intel, and that he “encouraged TSMC to assist in pulling Intel out of its slump with a joint venture” and is keen on reviving the former U.S. manufacturing icon while strengthening domestic production. In “TSMC Just Made a Bold Move That Could Save Intel,”Yahoo! Finance positions the prospective alliance as a “lifeline coming from an unlikely partner,” and says TSMC is stepping in to co-run Intel’s chip factories in exchange for the 20% stake in the new venture. “The deal, still in its early stages, follows months of pressure from the White House to get the two rivals on the same page,” Yahoo! Finance states. “If it moves forward, this could mark a major turning point not just for Intel, but for the U.S. semiconductor industry’s push to regain relevance in the global chip race.” TSMC isn’t just doing Intel a favor, the publication adds, it’s doubling down on its U.S. expansion. “TheTaiwanese giant recently unveiled a $100 billion plan to build five new fabs in the U.S., and this Intel JV would give it even deeper roots,” it adds. “If this deal locks in, and if Intel can finally start shipping on time with TSMC at the helm, we may be looking at the start of one of the more A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

And in Other News… About a week after The Information unveiled the details of the new TSMCIntel partnership, Reuters reported that TSMC was threatened with a tax of up to 100% if it didn’t build new plants in the U.S. “Speaking at a Republican National Congressional Committee event,” it says, “Trump criticized former President Joe Biden’s administration for providing a $6.6 billion grant to TSMC’s U.S. unit for semiconductor production in Phoenix, Arizona, saying semiconductor companies do not need the money.”

4 Ways Procurement Teams Can Support Sustainability Procurement departments are solidifying their roles as essential drivers of organizational ESG success. Today’s procurement departments do a lot more than just secure the best possible price and delivery times for goods and services. In fact, they’re increasingly recognized as pivotal drivers of their organizations’ sustainability and environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives. “While the bottom line remains the main focus for procurement organizations,” the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) states, “investments toward [ESG] goals are increasingly becoming key components of corporate strategies.” Smart companies are making their procurement teams a part of these conversations and enlisting their help in advancing their organizational sustainability goals. Decisions about which suppliers to engage, what materials to source and how goods are transported, for example, all directly influence a company’s carbon emissions, waste generation and adherence to ethical labor practices. By integrating sustainability criteria into the procurement process, A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

organizations can make substantial strides towards their ESG goals. Here are four strategies procurement departments can use to champion and support sustainability within their own organizations: 1. Build a business case for sustainable procurement. Factor in your organization’s needs, priorities, values, resources and stakeholder requirements. Next, procurement analytics provider Sievo recommends pinpointing specific focus areas and priorities. “Ensure that management, procurement, sustainability and compliance teams agree on the business case and benefits,” it adds, and ask yourself these questions:
Is sustainability a core company value and part of our DNA? Are we incorporating sustainable practices to please our target market or to satisfy our investors and stakeholders? Are we driving sustainable procurement initiatives to comply with government regulations? 2. Set tangible sustainability goals and targets. This not only helps provide direction, but it also bolsters commitment and helps you measure progress, according to Sievo, which offers these ESG goal examples as good pathways to a more sustainable procurement policy: Environmental targets • • •
100% compliance with environmental guidelines in your industry 100% of key suppliers’ environmental impact assessed X% reduction in consumption of resources such as energy and water Social targets
• • •
100% compliance with paying living wages and eliminating child labor 100% compliance with health and safety audit standards 100% compliance with the Modern Slavery Act Governance targets
• • •
A2Z-TM8MYi-Nov2024.indd 1
100% compliance with regulations and applicable laws 100% compliance with terms for anti-bribery and anti-money laundering X% of key suppliers engaged in joint sustainability program 3. Create a unified “source of truth” for all stakeholders to work from. ISM says the first step a procurement team should take toward effective ESG analytics is defining a single source of truth data set from which to track these metrics. “If different geographies or business units are operating with their own assumptions on how to calculate these figures, or are generally estimating where they might stand, it will be very difficult to get a concrete assessment of current behavior or track actual progress,” it says. “Aligning on a standardized set of definitions, calculations, and data sources will establish an agreed upon baseline from which to track and improve progress over time.”
4. Enlist suppliers and stakeholders in the effort. Collaborating with 10/8/2024 2:24:30 PM suppliers and stakeholders is essential for promoting sustainability, and procurement teams are well positioned to both identify and maximize these vital connections. “Manufacturers must work closely with their partners to exchange best practices, set sustainability goals, and drive continuous improvement,” INCIT says in 3 essential strategies to boost electronics supply chain sustainability. “[That way] they can create a network of like-minded organizations committed to sustainable supply chain management by fostering strong partnerships.” Procurement departments are no longer just cost-cutters; they’re crucial agents of change. They’re actively shaping their companies’ sustainability narratives by strategically selecting suppliers, fostering collaboration and rigorously tracking progress—all of which solidify their roles as essential drivers of organizational ESG success.

The investment in Faribault Mill meant millions of dollars being spent on new machinery capable of producing a greater range of products. It also meant raising employees’ starting wage from $12 per hour to $16 per hour, and strengthening both the company’s e-commerce sales and its retail footprint. Faribault Mill also brought back retired workers to help launch old equipment while working hard to bring on a new generation of younger workers.
CJ Precision Machine, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of critical parts for a wide variety of industries, including aerospace, semiconductor, medical, solar, food processing, aviation, automotive, and motorsports.
It all added up to the company making a big bet on blankets, scarves and throws that can cost more than $200 at a time when Temu,Wish and Amazon have pushed increasingly cheaper products shipped from overseas.
From our vertical machining centers, to our state-of-the art 5-axis mills and 7-axis lathes, we provide superior customer satisfaction from prototype to production. CJ provides superior customer satisfaction through flexible and dependable service with timely turn-around.
Faribault Mill views the fact that its products are 100% made in America as a source of strength at a time when there is bipartisan support for bolstering American manufacturing and President Donald Trump’s moves to impose broad tariffs on imported goods.
Our precision manufacturing includes working with both plastics and metals in our 9,500 square foot facility in Boise, Idaho. Our machinists have more than 140 years of experience and all manufactured parts are inspected by quality control.
“It’s the one issue that has bipartisan support — for more manufacturing in America. I do think that’s good for business,” Widmoyer said. “As far as tariffs, I’m not too concerned about it. Not only do we make our products here, but most of our supply chain is based here in the United States.”
CJ can provide finishing including anodizing, powder-coating, chromate, various types of electro-plating, and many others as required by our customers.

U.S. Manufacturers Face A Pivotal Year As Tariffs, Labor Shortages Reshape Industry By Andy Medici
For American manufacturers, 2025 is shaping up to be a crucial time. It’s being buttressed by the tailwinds of massive investments from the CHIPS Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act but beset by uncertainty from both existing and planned tariffs and a growing trade war as the Trump administration seeks to bolster at least some domestic-manufacturing efforts. “2025 is a pivotal year for the manufacturing industry in the U.S., with widespread repercussions for the rest of the world,” said Chirag Rathi, senior director of industry and solution strategy for manufacturing at software and services provider Infor. “Manufacturing in 2025 is undergoing a period of great change, driven by a strategic combination of tariffs and incentives aimed at boosting competitiveness.” Mixed economic signals Total construction spending on manufacturing projects has soared in recent years. It hovered around $80 billion on a monthly basis in the years leading up to the pandemic. Since 2022, that sum has grown to $238 billion, where it has largely plateaued in recent months.
That’s because the textile manufacturer, which traces its beginnings to 1865, has survived the massive offshoring of American manufacturing in the 1980s and 1990s and a two-year shutdown of its operations before being brought back to life by a group of investors and relaunching in early 2020 — only to immediately hit the teeth of the Covid-19 pandemic. “It really has come down to one simple thing, which is to invest,” CEO Ross Widmoyer said in an interview. “We will never be the cheapest blanket but we do believe we will be the absolute best blanket. And indeed, if we were not, we would have been out of business a long time ago.” A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •
26 • APR - MAY 2025
Total manufacturing employment stands at about 12.7 million — down slightly after reaching 12.9 million in 2023 following the depths of the Covid-19 pandemic, but still higher than at any time since the Great Recession pummeled manufacturing employment. Recent industry signs are mixed, with the Institute for Supply Management’s Manufacturing Purchasing Mangers’ Index falling to 50.3 in February, down from 50.9 in January and slightly below forecasts. It does, however, mark a rebound from lows near 47 last summer. The New Orders Index also has rebounded from 2024, growing to more than 55.1 in January before sliding back in February, to 48.6.
“The upside is the revival of domestic manufacturing through reshoring. The downside is the availability of labor: The U.S. will be short of 3 million workers in the next three years in a medium- to high-growth scenario,” Rathi said. “The risk is if the short-term supply chain challenges cascade into a full-blown recession. American consumer confidence is key. It will need to get us through the short-term tariffrelated disruption period.” “Companies that cannot quickly adapt — either by restructuring their supply chains, renegotiating vendor agreements or adjusting pricing strategies — will struggle to remain competitive,” Grimes said. “Shifting away from international suppliers is not a short-term fix. It requires significant time, investment and logistics restructuring.” Manufacturers are deeply concerned about tariffs, with “trade uncertainties” surging to the top of challenges cited by the industry, according to the National Association of Manufacturers first-quarter outlook, with 76% citing trade as a challenge, compared to 56% in the fourth quarter of 2024. Still, about 70% of companies said they felt positive about their financial outlook, down only slightly from 71% in the fourth quarter of 2024. Manufacturers surveyed said they expect the prices they pay for raw materials to rise 5.5% over the next year, while their own prices would increase 3.6% over the next year, the highest level since the third quarter of 2022, when inflation was near its peak.
The survey was conducted prior to sweeping tariffs announced by the Trump administration in March and early April. While prices are expected to go up, the job market has seen a slowdown as wage growth slows and job openings drop. Manufacturing eked out 10,000 new jobs in February, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, but that was preceded by months of losses. “Manufacturing faces a very uncertain future, and job growth in the sector has been stalled for the past 30 months,” said Alliance for American Manufacturing President Scott Paul in a statement. “We believe that a responsible and orderly application of new tariffs, particularly on China and other countries with persistent unfair trade practices, will ultimately grow job opportunities in the United States.” Tom Kohm, CEO of Premier Equipment Inc., which sells Computer Numerical Control machines for manufacturers, said he would describe 2025 as a “renaissance with growing pains,” where momentum exists even as companies struggle to find the right workers with the right skills. “Threats to the supply chain loom over us, too — even as some manufacturers have decided to bring operations back to the States, in part to lessen the dependence on plants located overseas,” Kohm said. “And now, with inflation, energy prices and wages spiraling upward, a good number of manufacturers are feeling that pinch in their profit margins.” A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

GE Aerospace and CFM International Continue to Expand MRO Capacity by Chris Norris
service with more than 150 operators around the globe, 60 million flight hours logged, and more than 10,000 engine orders on backlog, the company faces a growing challenge: how to keep all those engines in tip-top shape. Indeed, because of the sheer number in service, shop visits for LEAP engines are expected to increase significantly by the end of this decade. The story is much the same when it comes to GE Aerospace’s most popular widebody engine, the GEnx. Airlines that have purchased Boeing 787 Dreamliners have selected the GEnx engine close to three out of every four times. “We’ve been seeing a strong customer preference for the performance and reliability that CFM LEAP and GEnx engines offer,” says Natalie Stone, head of CFM LEAP Premier MRO programs. “This [has] created a need for more incremental services and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capacity.”
When the CFM LEAP engine entered service in 2016, its maker, CFM International, a 50-50 joint company between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines, had a hunch it might be popular. But maybe not this popular.
In the past decade, CFM and GE Aerospace have continually added MRO shops around the world — both by expanding the number and footprint of their own facilities and by partnering with other elite MRO providers. Now, with the inauguration of a shop in Poland and a new partnership with MTU Maintenance in Texas, they’re doing it again.
Case in point: Over the past few years, airlines that have selected Airbus A320neo and A321neo aircraft have opted for CFM LEAP engines about 70% of the time. And that’s just a portion of the engine program’s remarkable success. With more than 3,700 LEAP-powered aircraft in
GE Aerospace announced its most recent increase in MRO capacity two weeks before MRO Americas when it inaugurated XEOS, a 35,000-squaremeter (375,000-square-foot) facility nearWrocław, Poland. GE Aerospace

operates the facility as a joint venture with Lufthansa Technik. “XEOS features a state-ofthe-art test cell, a modern clean-and-inspect line, advanced repair capability, and a training center,” says Stone. “We’ve designed it with all of our latest GE Aerospace technology, using FLIGHT DECK and the best lean practices and principles.”
Precious Metals Plating Co., Inc + Gold Plating + Silver Plating + Nickel Plating + Electroless Nickel Plating + Tin Plating + Heat Treat With Plate + Nadcap Approved Processes + Boeing Approved Processes + Expedited Turnaround + X-ray Fluorescence Thickness Verification + In-House Laboratory With Atomic Absorption (AA) + Expanded Capacity In Vibratory Plating
One of the most respected names in MRO, Lufthansa Technik is also a licensed CFM LEAP Premier MRO provider. This means they compete in an open MRO ecosystem with CFM and third-party shops whose Premier MRO status signifies CFM’s highest level of training and support — and provides access to proprietary overhaul and repair technology. “They’re named Premier MRO providers because they’re the best and most well-respected in the industry,” Stone explains. In the open MRO ecosystem, airlines select shops based on overhaul work scope, repair capability, location, engine induction slot availability, turnaround times, and pricing. In this way, Lufthansa Technik won work from LOT Polish Airlines for the Polish flag carrier’s CFM LEAP-1B engines, which it chose to induct at XEOS. At the facility’s inaugural ceremony, members of LufthansaTechnik, LOT Polish Airlines, and the Polish government celebrated the commitments that XEOS represents, both to the aviation industry and to Poland, where GE Aerospace is assembling a skilled aerospace workforce.

Building on this good news, CFM announced its sixth Premier MRO provider at MRO Americas this week: MTU Maintenance Dallas, which will also service GEnx engines through a GE Aerospace branded service agreement (GBSA). Through this new partnership, MTU Maintenance will conduct performance restoration shop visits and industrialize extensive repair capabilities for CFM LEAP-1A and -1B engines, and for GEnx-1B engines — serving operators of Airbus A320neo family, Boeing 737 MAX, and Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft around the world. “They were chosen because of their demonstrated capabilities in overhaul and repair,” Stone says of MTU Maintenance. “They’ve got deeper roots than most other MRO shops around the world.” It has been a little more than 50 years since GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines founded the joint company to produce the CFM56 engine, which clocked its one-billionth flight hour in 2019. Now the CFM LEAP engine, which is 15% more fuel-efficient and much quieter than
the CFM56 engine, is well on its way to matching, and possibly eclipsing, its predecessor. CFM’s new investments — in MRO facilities, in MRO partners, and in an open MRO ecosystem — are all designed to uphold the company’s proud traditions: driving down cost of ownership, supporting higher residual values, and maintaining industry-leading asset utilization.
