New 120,000 sq. ft Irving (Texas) facility will more than double engine component overhaul capacity enabling new capabilities and services.
ITP Aero is expanding its BP Aero MRO footprint in Texas, U.S.A. to meet rising customer demand, improve turnaround times and support a broader range of engine programmes. The new facility will enable more advanced repair capabilities on its current portfolio of CFM, CF6, CF34 and GE90 engine components, as well as offer new capabilities in support of the growing demand on the LEAP, GTF and GEnx engines.
The new 120,000 sq. ft building, located just a few miles from BP Aero’s current site and close to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, will more than double the company’s current component repair footprint once fully operational at the end of 2026. Furthermore, it is expected over the next 2 years to add an incremental 100 jobs, supporting ITP Aero’s long-term industrial growth in the United States.
Alan Jones, Executive Vice President of MRO at ITP Aero, said: “This expansion strengthens ITP Aero’s position in the U.S. aftermarket and reflects the direction of our MRO growth strategy. By increasing capacity in component repair we are reinforcing our ability to support customers today while preparing for the requirements of newer platforms.”
ITP Aero completed the acquisition of BP Aero in February 2024, making it the company’s first MRO acquisition and first presence in the United States. This expansion is another step in ITP Aero’s strategy to grow its global aftermarket business through targeted investments, broader repair capabilities and a stronger international MRO network. This strategy is reflected in expanded industrial capabilities and recent MRO investments across key markets.
