This article is based on an official press release from Precision Aviation Group, Inc.
Precision Aviation Group (PAG) has expanded its global footprint by adding two new facilities to the Safran Electrical & Power Authorized Repair Center (ARC) Network. The newly authorized centers, EFIX in Brazil and PAG Australia in Queensland, bring the company’s total number of Safran-approved repair centers to five.
This strategic move enhances PAG’s ability to provide original equipment manufacturer (OEM)-approved maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) support for DC Generators and Generator Control Units (GCUs) across South America and the Asia-Pacific region.
According to the official press release, the expansion is designed to reduce turnaround times and maintain high standards of safety and reliability for operators in these growing aviation markets.
Expanding the Global MRO Footprint
The addition of the Brazilian and Australian facilities marks a significant milestone for PAG’s component services division. By securing authorization for EFIX and PAG Australia, the company is positioning itself to better serve regional operators who require specialized electrical and power system repairs.
The five PAG companies now authorized within the Safran Electrical & Power ARC Network span multiple continents. As detailed in the company’s announcement, the network includes the Atlanta headquarters, PAI Canada in British Columbia, Turner Aviation in Glasgow, Scotland, alongside the newly added EFIX and PAI Australia locations.
“This expansion reflects the continued investment we’re making across our Component Services organization to meet OEM standards while supporting customers where they operate. Adding EFIX and PAG Australia to the Safran Electrical & Power ARC Network allows us to extend trusted, authorized repair and distribution capabilities into new regions while maintaining the quality, consistency, and reliability our customers expect,” said Jordan Webber, Vice President of Component Services at Precision Aviation Group, in the press release.
Strengthening OEM Partnerships
Safran Electrical & Power, recognized as a global leader in aircraft electrical systems, utilizes its Authorized Repair Center Network to ensure consistent quality, compliance, and performance standards across its approved service providers. The company, which employs over 15,500 people across 13 countries, plays a critical role in equipment electrification and hybrid propulsion.
For PAG, aligning closely with a major OEM like Safran reinforces its market position. The press release notes that PAG currently operates 26 repair stations and 28 locations worldwide, supported by 1,280 employees. The company’s infrastructure spans over 1.2 million square feet, allowing it to offer comprehensive MRO services on more than 200,000 product lines.
AirPro News analysis
We view this expansion as a clear indicator of the growing demand for localized, OEM-certified repair capabilities in the aftermarket aviation sector. As supply chain constraints continue to challenge the global aerospace industry, operators are increasingly prioritizing MRO partners who can deliver rapid turnaround times without compromising on stringent OEM standards. By embedding its facilities within the Safran network, PAG is effectively shortening the logistical loop for its customers in South America and the Asia-Pacific, which could translate to reduced aircraft downtime and stronger regional market share.
