FACC signs multiyear agreement with Pratt & Whitney for fan case MRO

With a multiyear agreement from engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. (P&WC, Longueuil, Quebec) for the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of composite fan cases related to its PW800 turbofan engines, FACC AG (Ried im Innkreis, Austria) is developing into a full component repair service provider in the engine sector, from development and production to maintenance of engine components.

“P&WC is a global leader in the manufacture and aftermarket support of aircraft engines,” FACC CEO Robert Machtlinger points out, outlining the significance of the agreement. “We are pleased to take our collaboration with this important customer to a new level and also to establish ourselves as a provider in the MRO sector.”

The engine fan cases overhauls will take place at FACC’s sites in Upper Austria, which have a high level of expertise in the production and maintenance of high-tech composite components. The engine component repairs began in September 2023.

Since the establishment of its Aftermarket Services business unit in 2018, FACC AG has established itself as a high-performance and reliable partner to the aviation industry and airlines worldwide in the repair, maintenance, servicing and modernization of aircraft. The agreement signed with P&WC will further expand this market position.
