Rolls-Royce authorized maintenance and overhaul center Essential Turbines has opened a facility in Mesa, Arizona. Previously, the company operated at a temporary location in the Phoenix area. It is also a member of the engine manufacturer’s First network.
With the new facility, Essential Turbines has tripled its capacity to service M250 and RR300 engines and will be able to provide faster turnaround times for customers in the U.S., particularly in the Southwest. Dedicated infrastructure for engine overhaul, test cell operations, and component repair will enable the company to meet those objectives.
“After three years in a temporary space, we’re making a permanent commitment to Arizona with a facility specifically designed for MRO excellence,” said Essential Turbines president and CEO Gannon Gambeski. “This purpose-built location gives our team the modern infrastructure and expanded capacity to deliver the quality and responsiveness Essential Turbines is known for.”
More than 16,000 M250 and RR300 engines are in service, and Essential Turbines serves EMS, government, utility, oil and gas, and commercial helicopter operators.
