Ontic, a UK-based supplier of aerospace parts, has opened its first MRO Center of Excellence in Miramar, Florida.
The new 5,900 sqm site — which is the company's eight MRO facility worldwide — cost $10 million to build and will support customers of Ontic-manufactured parts and systems.
“The facility brings together Ontic’s US-based MRO teams, equipment, and processes under one roof,” the company said.
“By consolidating repair expertise into a single dedicated hub, the site improves turnaround times and ensures consistent, transparent service delivery across critical aircraft systems.”
The Miramar facility has received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), enabling Ontic to deliver certified repairs directly to customers and distributors.
As the license holder for thousands of product lines, Ontic retains the proprietary data, tooling, and test equipment required to repair components to OEM standards.
This will ensure that repairs are longer-lasting and backed by an OEM warranty, providing operators with the assurance that all components meet their original engineering specification.
The site is fitted with an in-house paint room, vibration-testing, machine shop, and portable dark room, which together will provide end-to-end MRO support across electro-mechanical, avionics, actuation, and hydraulics.
Designed for growth, the site also includes an additional 1,100 sqm of expansion space, which will allow Ontic to scale as it secures new product licenses and brings additional product lines into its MRO network.
Ontic is actively recruiting to support the new facility, with approximately 150 new high-skill roles being created across engineering, technical operations, customer service, supply chain, and logistics functions.
The Miramar facility is part of Ontic’s wider $30 million global investment in MRO facilities, which also includes the establishment of a new MRO hub in Tewkesbury, UK.
Together, the two sites will create a coordinated network designed to support customers across multiple regions with consistent quality and reliable MRO turnaround times.
