Barnes Aerospace announced Tuesday that it will expand its maintenance and repair facility in East Granby.
Barnes Aerospace, a business unit of publicly traded Barnes Group Inc., said the facility specializes in engine component repair and is certified by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, European Aviation Safety Agency and the Civil Aviation Administration of China.
“Our expansion will include investments in innovative technology, leveraging our existing component repair expertise and allowing us to better serve our global customers,” said Ian Reason, senior vice president of Barnes and president of Barnes Aerospace.
The expanded facility will span 68,000 square feet and include a new chemical processing line, which will reduce the amount of chemical waste generated in the repair process, the company said.
“This initiative will further enhance and progress our sustainability efforts in today’s dynamic global environment as well as into the future,” said Joe Anzalotti, health, safety and environmental manager of Barnes Aerospace.
