Commercial Aviation Manufacturing: Your Trusted Partner in Aerospace Excellence
The commercial aviation manufacturing landscape demands partners who understand that every component, every assembly, and every repair directly impacts passenger safety and operational reliability. At ACMT, we’ve spent decades building our reputation as a forward-looking commercial aviation manufacturing partner, serving domestic and international commercial airplane manufacturers with the precision, flexibility, and innovative solutions they need to keep the world flying.
When you’re working in commercial aerospace, there’s no room for “good enough.” That’s why major commercial aircraft manufacturers trust ACMT’s comprehensive capabilities, from precision machining to complex assemblies, knowing we deliver consistent quality that meets their exacting standards every time.
Here’s what excites us: taking on the projects others might find too complex or specialized. Whether you’re developing next-generation rotor blade components or need titanium hot forming for critical engine applications, we approach each challenge with the same forward-looking mindset that’s driven our growth from a clean room repackaging operation to a global aerospace leader.
Deep Expertise Across the Commercial Aerospace Industry
Our journey in the commercial aerospace industry began over three decades ago, and we’ve watched this sector evolve from traditional manufacturing approaches to today’s technology-driven, efficiency-focused operations. What hasn’t changed? The absolute requirement for quality, reliability, and precision that defines everything we do.
We manufacture components for most major aviation manufacturers, providing a diverse range of services that span the complete lifecycle of commercial aircraft components. Our FAA Part 145 Repair Station certification (Air Agency Certificate #H03R013Y) demonstrates our commitment to meeting the rigorous standards that govern commercial aviation operations.

Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul Excellence
Beyond manufacturing new components, our MRO capabilities serve as a crucial support system for commercial aviation operators worldwide. We conduct maintenance, repair, and overhaul services on gas turbine components and accessories, helping airlines and operators maximize aircraft availability while maintaining the highest safety standards.
Our MRO services cover major engine types including:
- CF6-80 series engines
- CFM56 family (5A, 5B, 5C, 7)
- PW2000, PW4000, and PW6000 series
- V2500 variants
- ALF502 and other specialized applications
We excel in traditional part repairs like heat treatment, welding, and detail replacement, while also employing advanced methods like patching, bonding, and molding. Our dedicated clean rooms prevent cross-contamination, ensuring that every repaired component meets original specifications.
Materials Expertise That Powers Performance
Working with commercial airplane manufacturers means understanding the specific material requirements that define modern aircraft construction. We regularly work with:
- Aluminum alloys for lightweight structural applications
- Inconel for high-temperature engine components
- Titanium for strength-critical applications requiring our specialized hot forming capabilities
- Steel alloys for specific structural and mechanical applications
- Advanced composites for next-generation aircraft programs
Our in-house laboratory capabilities ensure that every material meets specification requirements, with full traceability and certification documentation that satisfies both OEM and regulatory requirements.
Innovation That Drives the Future
The commercial aviation manufacturing sector never stops evolving, and neither do we. We’re continuously investing in new technologies and capabilities that help our partners stay ahead of industry trends:
- 3D Printing capabilities with our Fortus 450 system for rapid prototyping and specialized tooling
- Advanced inspection technologies including automated blue light scanning and laser inspection systems
- Lean manufacturing processes that eliminate waste and improve efficiency
- Engineering expertise that supports design optimization and value engineering initiatives
Partnership That Goes Beyond Manufacturing
What sets ACMT apart in the commercial aerospace industry isn’t just what we make—it’s how we work with our partners. We believe in building relationships that go beyond individual purchase orders to create long-term partnerships that help both organizations grow and succeed.
Our engineering team doesn’t just execute your designs; they collaborate with you to optimize manufacturing processes, reduce costs, and improve performance.
