Ontic Invests $30M in Global MRO Expansion for Boeing Aircraft
What happened
Ontic opened a dedicated component maintenance facility in Tewkesbury, England, as part of a $30 million global maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) investment. This facility received $15 million and consolidates repair activities from nearby sites. Additionally, Ontic consolidated MRO product lines from Creedmoor, North Carolina, and Chatsworth, California, into a facility in Florida.

Why it matters
The expansion is designed to improve aftermarket service and win repair work back from third-party providers for Boeing aircraft. The move involves transferring around 200 staff and consolidating product lines across multiple locations, signaling a major strategic shift in global MRO operations.
