Job: Machining Manager

Company Overview:

When Able opened its doors in 1982, the business centered on the piece processing of turbine engine components for original equipment manufacturers. Through a working collaboration with select customers, we learned to utilize our core processes to repair worn/damaged components directly for operators. We capitalized on that concept and have a current base of over 4,000 proprietary FAA-approved repairs applicable to over 800 individual components.
In 1997, we expanded our business to include the overhaul of fixed-wing aircraft components. By focusing on a select group of components and, once again, applying our repair capabilities, we created the best value alternative for yet another focus group. We now provide component overhaul service to some of the world's largest and most successful fixed wing operators.
