Greenville, South Carolina-based Stevens Aerospace and Defense Systems is adding a fourth location with the opening of a facility in Macon, Georgia, that will be used to handle its rapidly growing large-cabin aircraft business.

The MRO is shifting its large-cabin maintenance, avionics, and interiors business from Donaldson Center Airport in Greenville to Middle Georgia Regional Airport in Macon. The relocation is providing additional room to accommodate that end of the business, as well as space for other potential business plans in Greenville, Stevens said. The new location is set to begin operations in January.

“Stevens is pleased to have additional and dedicated space for our large-cabin customers and be less dependent on our Greenville facility for meeting customer requirements in the southeastern U.S.,” said company CFO Neal McGrail.

In addition to Macon and Greenville, Stevens has bases in Dayton, Ohio; and Nashville, Tennessee. The company provides services for a range of aircraft from Beechcraft, Piaggio, and Pilatus up to large-cabins such as Gulfstreams, Bombardier Globals, and Dassault Falcons. Along with the four locations, Stevens has a 24/7 AOG-mobile repair team unit.
