TRIUMPH Actuation Achieves Record Shipments as Demand Surges

Triumph Actuation Sets New Shipping Record

In a remarkable achievement, Triumph Group, Inc. (TRIUMPH) has announced record shipments exceeding $28 million for its aftermarket services during the current fiscal year. This significant milestone highlights the company’s pivotal role in the aviation sector, specifically in supporting the maintenance of the Boeing 787 and Airbus A380 landing gear systems.

Unprecedented Demand

With the earlier units of the Boeing 787 fleet now reaching 12 years of service, there is an increasing demand for mandatory heavy landing gear overhauls. Over the next five years, more than 500 aircraft are projected for maintenance, driven by the necessity of compliance with stringent safety standards set forth by aviation authorities. This upsurge in maintenance needs is part of a broader trend as aircraft age, and operational requirements evolve.

Simultaneously, the Airbus A380 has seen expanded use in response to rising commercial air travel. This increased operational activity has notably bolstered TRIUMPH's aftermarket sales, particularly in components associated with both wing and body landing gears.

TRIUMPH's comprehensive actuation suite for the Boeing 787 includes essential systems such as nose wheel steering, extend and retract actuation, truss bracing, positioning mechanisms, uplocks, door actuation, control valves, and accompanying ground service panels. The company’s engineering and manufacturing capabilities are integral to meeting the rigorous demands placed upon these critical aircraft systems.

Strategic Investments for Future Growth

Natasha Trudeau, President of TRIUMPH’s Actuation Products and Services division, expressed confidence in the company’s trajectory: "TRIUMPH has supported the B787 and A380 programs since their inception and is now benefiting significantly from robust aftermarket demand as these platforms approach their critical maintenance phases. Our emphasis on higher-margin aftermarket packages is paramount to our customers' ongoing operational needs and aligns seamlessly with our growth strategy."

The company’s investments in maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facilities and capabilities are vital to ensuring it meets burgeoning customer demands as they pertain to landing gear maintenance. As the entire aviation landscape evolves, TRIUMPH is positioning itself to capitalize on growth opportunities, particularly in light of the increasing production rates for the Boeing 787 series.

Commitment to Aerospace Leadership

Headquartered in Radnor, Pennsylvania, TRIUMPH Group has firmly established itself as a key player in the aerospace and defense markets. The company focuses on designing, engineering, manufacturing, and servicing a wide array of aerospace systems and components for both military and commercial aviation operators worldwide.

As TRIUMPH continues to navigate the complexities of the aerospace sector, its robust aftermarket performance not only enhances operational capabilities but also facilitates long-term customer relationships built on reliability and service excellence. According to the company, continued growth is anticipated in the coming years, coupled with the rising production rates of the Boeing 787 and the expanding operational demands of the A380 fleet.
