Gulfstream Opens New MRO Facility in Wisconsin

: Aug 27, 2019 - : 5:22 pm

Gulfstream Aerospace has expanded its maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) operations at Wisconsin’s Appleton International Airport with the opening of a newly built aircraft maintenance facility. The facility became operational on Aug. 10.

The nearly 190,000 sq ft building, northeast of the airport terminal, was constructed with an investment of approximately US$40 million. The expansion to the Appleton service center includes 101,853 sq ft of hangar space, which will accommodate 12 G650ER or G650 aircraft. In addition to offices, back shops and general support space, the expansion adds a new sales and design center and increased customer access to Gulfstream’s design portfolio.

“This is a very exciting day for Appleton and the entire Fox Valley,” said Derek Zimmerman, president, Gulfstream Customer Support. “This beautiful facility represents the most significant expansion we’ve had in the 20 years we’ve been here. It is a tremendous asset to our site and the community. It will help us enhance the reliability of our growing fleet, support more customers and elevate their experience, continue to maintain a high level of safety and provide a world-class workplace for our employees.”

The project, announced in February 2018, has resulted in nearly 100 new jobs at Gulfstream Appleton, with the potential for more in the next few years.
