Standardaero, Inc.

A global provider of maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for aircraft, StandardAero keeps jet engines, helicopters, and auxiliary power units flying for business, commercial, military, and industrial customers. It began in 1911 as Standard Machine Works, a Winnipeg auto-repair shop founded by Charles Pearce and William Bickell, before branching into aircraft engines in the 1920s. The name itself is a nod to its roots: it dropped the "Machine Works" and kept "Standard," adding "Aero" when the plane business took off.
