News — 22.08.22
Pilatus has opened a new state-of-the-art paint facility at its US Completions Centre in Broomfield, Colorado. The construction of Pilatus’ latest installation is in response to the growing demand for the manufacturer’s popular PC-24 and PC-12 NGX aircraft.
Pilatus executives, employees, industry partners and invited guests gathered to celebrate the official grand opening of the facility at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (KBJC). Attendees enjoyed a commemorative ribbon-cutting ceremony followed by facility tours.
Thomas Bosshard, President and CEO of Pilatus US subsidiary, Pilatus Business Aircraft Ltd, emphasised his delight in the rapid growth of the company during the grand opening, stating: “We are proud to continue expanding our footprint and enhancing our workforce here in Colorado to meet the increased demand of the North and South American markets.”
The expansion will not only reduce logistical complexities and costs related to painting aircraft, but also decrease production time.
