MTU Aero Engines

MTU Aero Engines AG is headquartered in Munich, Germany. The company traces its origins to 1934 when it was founded as a joint venture to produce aircraft engines. Over the decades it evolved to focus on jet engines and became a major force in the aerospace industry. In the post World War II era, the company concentrated on manufacturing jet engines and later expanded into defense contracts.

The company develops and manufactures engine components and complete engines for commercial and military aviation. Its portfolio includes low pressure turbines, fan modules, and high thrust engines for large commercial aircraft. It works in partnership with major engine makers such as General Electric, Pratt and Whitney, and Rolls Royce.

MTU produces engines and components for widebody jets, narrowbody and regional jets, business jets, turboprops, and helicopters. Programs include the CF6, GEnx, GE9X, GE90, GP7000, CFM56, LEAP, V2500, PW2000, and the GTF engine family. It also supports the CF34, PW6000, JT8D, and various Pratt and Whitney Canada engines for regional and business aircraft.

The company provides engines for combat aircraft, transport planes, and helicopters. It also offers complete maintenance, repair, and overhaul services. These cover major overhauls, spare parts services, and continuous support to airlines and operators throughout the engine lifecycle.

MTU operates locations around the world. These include maintenance centers in Hannover, Berlin Brandenburg, Zhuhai, Canada, and Serbia. It also has leasing and asset management operations in Amsterdam, Dublin, and Singapore. Through Airfoil Services in Malaysia, it repairs high pressure and low pressure turbine airfoils. MTU also runs training programs worldwide for prospective engine specialists.

In recent years the company shifted from pure manufacturing to a full service proposition. This expansion includes technical asset management, forecasting of shop visit needs, logistical support for engine transport and storage, and cost efficient management of assets from delivery until teardown.
