Habco Becomes Approved Supplier of Tooling for PW&C Engines

Habco Industries entered into a license agreement to be an approved supplier of commercial tools in support of the spectrum of Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) engines. The agreement builds on an earlier agreement under which Habco is the exclusive designated service supplier for Pratt & Whitney engines, including the JT3D, JT8D, JT9D, PW2000, PW4000 and PW6000.

The new agreement with P&WC covers the JT15D, PW100, PW150, PW100TS, PW200, PW210, PW300, PW500, PW600, PW800 and PT6 models. Habco (Booth 4084) expects the agreement to be fully operational at the beginning of 2017.

“Throughout our existence, countless airline operators have relied on Habco for quality support and test equipment used throughout their operations,” said Jeff Kretzmer, v-p of sales and marketing for Habco. “We’ve totally aligned the company from both an internal and external perspective to ensure that all P&WC engine customers receive the tool support that they’ve come to expect.”

Kretzmer added that the tool licensing agreement “is a further demonstration” of the company’s InnoGration business offering. In the past two years, the Glastonbury, Conn.-based company has focused on expanding its InnoGration offering to seek significant license agreements with aerospace OEMs.
