MIDDLETOWN, Conn., Jan. 20, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PAS Technologies Inc. (www.pas-technologies.com) announced that its Hillsboro, Ohio facility was named a finalist in the 2015 IndustryWeek Best Plants Awards competition. PAS is a specialized provider of cost-effective original equipment manufacturing (OEM) and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) products, services and solutions for the commercial and military aerospace, industrial gas turbine, and oil and gas markets.
The PAS Hillsboro, Ohio facility is one of the country’s premier manufacturers of OEM aircraft engine-ready parts and a provider of MRO special processes and services for commercial and military aircraft engine components. The facility repairs and rebuilds engine components to OEM specifications, saving aircraft owners and operators a significant amount of money over the purchase of new components.
The IndustryWeek annual salute to outstanding North American manufacturing facilities serves two purposes: to recognize plants that are on the leading edge of efforts to increase competitiveness, enhance customer satisfaction, and create stimulating and rewarding work environments; and to encourage other manufacturing managers and work teams to emulate the honorees by adopting world-class practices, technologies, and improvement strategies. Entrants are judged against a number of exacting criteria, including whether they have made a comprehensive effort to achieve world-class manufacturing capability.
PAS Hillsboro was among 20 manufacturing operations that comprise the 2015 slate of IndustryWeek Best Plants finalists. According to IndustryWeek, the finalists demonstrate admirable manufacturing performance metrics, as well as practices that exhibit a comprehensive focus on continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.
The Hillsboro operation is a proven supplier of choice, driving world-class performance and delivering operational excellence, having undergone a dynamic transformation during the past three years. The facility expanded its footprint by 70 percent, increased its number of processes to include the OEM of compressor rear frames and turbine airfoils as well as improved the quality of existing processes and output. Further, the facility has improved significantly on a number of key business metrics including on-time delivery, first-pass yield, customer rejection rates, safety, and customer satisfaction.
PAS was not among the winners announced by IndustryWeek on January 19, 2016. The winners of the 2015 Best Plants Award will be honored at the 2016 IndustryWeek Manufacturing & Technology Conference and Expo, scheduled for May 3-5, 2016 in Chicago, Illinois.
“While our Hillsboro, Ohio facility did not win an IndustryWeek Best Plant Award for 2015, we are pleased to have our facility selected as a finalist for this prestigious accreditation—and especially honored to be included with such extraordinary companies in the manufacturing sector,” said Thomas C. Hutton, Chief Executive Officer of PAS Technologies. “As the premier provider of OEM engine-ready parts and MRO special processes and services, PAS Hillsboro is a proven supplier of choice, driving world-class performance and trusted to deliver operational excellence.”
