A global aviation parts company is opening a processing center in Port St. Lucie
GA Telesis will use the new facility to inspect and prepare parts recovered from retired aircraft and engines.
By the numbers
When an airliner or jet engine reaches the end of its working life, it doesn’t all go to scrap. Many of its components can be inspected, certified and put back into service on other aircraft. The industry calls them used serviceable material, or USM.
Some of that work is coming to Port St. Lucie.
What’s opening
GA Telesis, an aviation services company with what it says are 54 locations in 30 countries, announced on Sept. 23 that it’s opening a USM processing center in Port St. Lucie.
According to the company, the facility will:
- receive components recovered from aircraft and engine disassembly projects
- document and evaluate them
- prepare them to ship to approved maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) shops
The company says splitting USM processing away from its main distribution center will let both operations specialize, moving parts through the repair cycle faster.
Jobs
GA Telesis says the expansion will create jobs in St. Lucie County. It has not published a job count or an opening date. We’ll update this story when it does.
Why it matters
Aviation and aerospace are a growing part of the Treasure Coast economy. A company with a global network choosing Port St. Lucie for a specialized operation is a small but real signal that the area is on the industry’s map.
