Héroux-Devtek Taps Antavia for Landing Gear MRO

Héroux-Devtek has added Ametek MRO’s Antavia as an authorized repair center for the repair and overhaul of Embraer Legacy and Praetor landing gear in Europe. The move will help landing gear manufacturer Héroux-Devtek support its products and meet customer requests without impacting production of landing gear products.

France-based Antavia’s capabilities will facilitate landing gear work, and these include non-destructive testing, machining, surface treatment, and painting. The company has invested in facilities in Paris and Campsas near Toulouse, adding tools, engineering expertise, and infrastructure.

“Antavia’s technical expertise, responsiveness, and established quality processes position it to support operators across the region,” said Marc-Olivier Gagnon, v-p, engineering and product support at Héroux-Devtek.

“This combination enables Antavia to meet demanding turnaround and quality requirements expected by business jet operators,” said Antavia deputy v-p and business manager Laurent Bouissou. “An authorized repair center agreement is a strong tie between the component MRO, such as Antavia, and the OEM; it demonstrates a high level of trust between both parties.”
