For the civil market segment, the company is active in the large commercial, business jet, regional aircraft and helicopter markets. As a result, a significant portion of the company’s sales are made to a limited number of customers located in Canada, the United States and Europe. The company sells to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), such as Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Leonardo, Embraer, Saab and Dassault Aviation; to Tier 1 suppliers, such as Safran Landing Systems and Collins Aerospace; and to end users in the aftermarket where its largest customer is the U.S. Air Force.

Aside from its ability to manufacture complete landing gear and actuation systems to specification, the company has earned a strong reputation for its outstanding support and service of landing gear and actuation systems for a wide range of defence and civil aircraft, including some out-of-production models. The company manufactures the landing gear system to those instructions provided by the customer. This typically involves sourcing materials, fabricating and machining components, and assembling them into the final product. The company’s comprehensive services encompass maintenance, repair, overhaul, spares provisioning and supply, warranty administration and support, technical publications, as well as on-site technical support and training. The company is strategically located in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Spain.
