History
Services
Through its TIMCO Aerosystems division, the company provided aircraft interiors design and certification services and manufactured interior fittings including seats, galleys and lavatories.[7] Timco Aerosystems was the result of the acquisition of Brice Manufacturing by Timco Aviation Services in 2002[2]
Prior to its acquisition by HAECO in 2014, TIMCO was one of the largest independent commercial jet MRO service providers in the world.[8] The company supported airlines, leasing companies, and government with individually tailored aircraft care services. TIMCO ran structures and composites repair operations using composite and bonded aluminum honeycomb assemblies.[9]
TIMCO's maintenance operations were also supported by an engine center in Oscoda, Michigan, and the company provided line maintenance operations at airports through the TIMCO LineCare network.[10]
