These four facilities achieved an impressive 80% participation rate in FAA-approved training and maintained a 97.3% on‑time delivery average, underscoring their commitment to quality and safety.

In its second year of eligibility, 52 Goodrich Customer Services employees at the North Carolina site earned AMT awards ranging from Bronze to Diamond. One technician received a special recognition award for exceptional support of the FAA Aviation Safety Program. The Monroe location specializes in component repair and overhaul services.

Goodrich’s Alabama Service Center has earned recognition for seven consecutive years, with 48% of eligible employees receiving individual AMT awards. This center provides MRO services for critical aircraft components, including nacelles, thrust reversers, and flight controls.
