AMETEK MRO has appointed Adam Payne as Business Development Director for Europe, who comes to the role with 20 years of experience in aerospace. He was previously Senior Sales Manager at Ontic and has also held positions at GE Aerospace over a 14-year stint at the company. In his new position as Business Development Director, Payne will target the growth of AMETEK MRO’s facilities and repair capabilities, which include securing Authorised Service Centre agreements with OEMs.

“MRO demand is increasing, and AMETEK MRO has the capabilities to provide support where OEMs are struggling. Spare parts are hard to come by, but customers don’t want their assets languishing in MRO shops for months, waiting to be repaired or held up due to material shortages. AMETEK MRO have always had an excellent say/do ratio, and it will continue to grow and improve as we expand and build new partnerships over the coming years.”

He added: “AMETEK MRO has deep capability across many areas, from avionics to galley equipment, landing gear to heat exchangers – and as OEMs invest in new product lines, we are here to support legacy equipment and non-core items. Most of these capabilities are transferable to military products, which is a key growth sector for us. Over time, the transition to new technologies, platforms, and products happens naturally.”
