TIGHITCO Enhances Integrated MRO Solutions to Support Aircraft Readiness

CHARLESTON, SC, UNITED STATES, April 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CHARLESTON, S.C., April 22, 2026 – TIGHITCO, Inc., a leading provider of complex composite structures, thermal insulation systems, and precision assemblies for the aerospace and defense industries, today announced enhancements to its integrated Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) capabilities, designed to support aircraft readiness and reduce operational downtime.
As operators and OEMs continue to prioritize efficiency and responsiveness, TIGHITCO has aligned its MRO offerings to deliver support across both in-shop and on-aircraft environments. The company’s integrated approach combines its Overhaul Support Services (OSS) with its Mobile Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) capabilities to provide flexible, end-to-end solutions for customers across commercial and military platforms.
TIGHITCO’s OSS division, based in East Granby, Connecticut, provides component repair and overhaul services supporting critical aircraft systems for OEMs including Sikorsky, Boeing and Leonardo, as well as leading maintenance providers such as MTU. Complementing these capabilities, TIGHITCO’s Mobile NDT team delivers on-site inspection services, including eddy current, ultrasonic and fluorescent penetrant inspection, enabling rapid response and reduced downtime for operators.
“Operators are increasingly focused on maintaining readiness while minimizing downtime,” said Mark Withrow, CEO of TIGHITCO. “Our integrated MRO approach allows us to support those priorities by delivering responsive, high-quality solutions both in our facilities and in the field.”
TIGHITCO’s approach to MRO emphasizes flexibility, responsiveness and consistent execution across a wide range of fixed-wing and rotorcraft platforms.
“Our ability to combine in-shop repair capabilities with on-aircraft inspection support provides customers with a more efficient and adaptable solution,” said Shawn Hawks, Vice President and General Manager of Complex Composites. “This integrated approach allows us to respond quickly and support evolving operational needs.”
