Panasonic Avionics' European MRO facility in Dundalk, Ireland, has expanded in size by 500 percent. the company announced on Monday.
The MRO center, which first opened in October 2019, has grown in size from 6,000 sq. ft to 23,000 sq. ft. The company has also tripled the workforce at the site.
The Dundalk facility is operated by Panasonic Technical Services (PTS), a division of Panasonic Avionics. It provides repairs, line maintenance, spares parts supply, and technical services and training to customers in the EMEA region and is Part 145, TCAA, FAA and UK CAA approved.
PTS expects to induct 1,500 – 2,000 units per month at its Dundalk facility. It will repair the X series and Next IFE systems, and Boeing CSS equipment, as well as being its European distribution center.
“The expansion of our Dundalk facility will enable our customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa to benefit from the tailored maintenance solutions which we provide at the high level they have come to expect from Panasonic Technical Services,” said Tom Eskola, Vice President and General Manager of Panasonic Technical Services. “Our primary objective is to offer customised maintenance solutions, delivering greater peace of mind to our customers by ensuring guaranteed performance and cost.”
Panasonic Avionics’ investment in the Dundalk facility has been supported by IDA Ireland (Industrial Development Agency) on behalf of the Irish Government.
The expanded Dundalk facility is one of ten PTS locations within Europe. In addition to the Ireland-based repair shop, there are also airport line maintenance stations at Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Lisbon, London Gatwick, London Heathrow, Madrid, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Paris Orly, and Rome Fiumicino.
