Pilatus Group, a Swiss-based corporate jet maker, has announced that its Skytech US subsidiary will be fully absorbed into a newly established company, Pilatus Aircraft USA.
The rebranding is scheduled for completion on January 1, 2026, and the newly formed company will be headquartered in Pilatus' existing base in Broomfield, Colorado.
In a statement, Pilatus said the rebrand is designed to make clear that Skytech belongs to Pilatus Group.
“The change of Skytech’s name underlines the company’s adherence to the Pilatus Group and reaffirms the Pilatus commitment to quality, customer proximity and the local workforce,” it said.
“Under the globally recognised Pilatus brand, customers may be confident that the proven Skytech team will continue to deliver the same high standard of service, technical expertise and personal support.”
Following its acquisition of Skytech in 2022, Pilatus has further expanded its direct involvement in the US market.
Piilatus has operated a subsidiary in Colorado for 29 years, where final assembly work is performed on both the PC-12 and PC-24 jets.
With the full integration of Skytech, further investments in expanding this site and in new jobs are planned for the future.
“Pilatus has identified considerable potential for growth in the coming years and will continue to contribute to economic development on the East Coast of the USA,” the company said.
Pilatus is also planning another site in Florida, which will focus on assembly work for PC-12 jets that are destined for the North and South American markets.
