German Business Will Expand Helomaker's MRO Capabilities
Earlier this week Eurocopter
Deutschland GmbH signed an agreement to acquire Motorflug
Baden-Baden GmbH, a German company specializing in helicopter
maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) work.
With bases in Baden-Baden, Rheinmünster and
Schönhagen, Motorflug will become an integral part of
Eurocopter's service and support business and will complement its
existing maintenance, repair and overhaul capabilities in the civil
helicopter market. The acquisition of Motorflug will enable
Eurocopter to offer even more comprehensive services to its
customers while assuring the flexibility and reactivity its
customers need.
"I am pleased to welcome Motorflug to our Eurocopter family. We
have identified the service area as one of our strategic axes of
growth," said Lutz Bertling, CEO of Eurocopter. "Motorflug with its
broad spectrum of service capabilities fits perfectly into our
portfolio and is a valuable complement to the existing MRO
capabilities of our group."
Motorflug was founded in 1955 as the first service provider for
helicopters in Germany. In its three German facilities, it offers a
wide spectrum of services covering helicopter airframes, engines,
components, instruments and avionics.
Eurocopter bills the acquisition as the continuation of an over
30-year history of successful cooperation that began in 1976, when
Motorflug was approved as authorized service center for MBB. This
was soon followed by the approval as service center for
Aerospatiale’s models in 1984.
In its over 50-year long history, Motorflug has provided
services on helicopters of numerous major brands. It is
Eurocopter’s intention to continue to provide the same
first-class service to all of Motorflug’s customers in the
future.
