CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Goodrich Corp. said Wednesday it opened a maintenance, repair and overhaul facility in Sao Carlos, Brazil.
Its Brazil division will initially focus on repairing International Aero Engine V2500-A5 engine inlets, fan cowls and thrust reversers for customers in Latin America and the Caribbean. Work will expand later to other nacelle systems in the region. Nacelles house control electronics, gearbox and other airplane equipment.
Goodrich, based in Charlotte, supplies aerospace components, systems and services.
