StandardAero Acquires Turbine Repair Service (TRS) Global Services’ subsidiary, TRS Ireland, to Expand Component Repair Capabilities

StandardAero acquires TRS Global Services subsidiary, TRS Ireland, a highly specialized provider of component repair and manufacturing processes for a large range of industrial, aeroderivative and aircraft gas turbines. The acquisition continues to expand StandardAero’s Components, Helicopters & Accessories (CH&A) division and its worldwide portfolio of MRO and component repair services.

TRS Ireland is a privately held company operating from Cork, Ireland, with nearly 70,000 square feet of MRO operations and more than 100 employees. The company has a large installed base of current customers, including Siemens, GE, Rolls-Royce, MTU, Safran, ITC, Doncasters and many others.

TRS Ireland has extensive experience as an OEM-approved specialty-coating provider of engine component repair and MRO services on blades, vanes and other hot-section components for both new and mature engines, as well as a variety of other applications. The company, which has more than 180 OEM approvals/licenses and unique FAA and EASA certifications, is also known as a trusted partner supporting gas-turbine users worldwide with customized services, outstanding quality, cost-effective pricing and fast turn-times. 

“TRS Ireland has a longstanding, hard-earned reputation in the industry as a reliable service partner and will bring immediate growth and opportunity for StandardAero,” says Russell Ford, chairman and CEO of StandardAero. “The company has also been extremely successful in implementing lean manufacturing initiatives to drive efficiency, which is very much in line with StandardAero’s operating model.” 

“TRS Ireland’s robust and long-tenured engineering and development team has extensive intellectual property around turbine airfoil and coating technologies, and we see significant opportunities to leverage these capabilities and capacity to the fast-growing aerospace and aeroderivative turbine-engine repair markets,” says Rick Stine, president of StandardAero’s CH&A Division.
