MTU Maintenance Hannover marked the completion of the extensive plant expansion with an opening ceremony. Michael Schrey”gg, Chief Program Officer at MTU, and Jaap Beijer, Managing Director of MTU Maintenance Hannover, welcomed Stephan Weil, Minister President of Lower Saxony, as well as numerous representatives from politics and industry.

The new extension consists of a workshop for engine maintenance and a modern office building. The construction time was about two years in each case. Construction of the factory hall began in autumn 2019. MTU gradually ramped up operations from November 2021 to April 2022. Ground-breaking for the office building took place in March 2020. The first employees moved in March 2022.

?With the new office building, the new factory hall, and other substantial investments, MTU Maintenance is clearly committed to its Hannover site and is improving working conditions for around 2,500 employees?, says Stephan Weil, Minister President of Lower Saxony. ?MTU is the world?s first aircraft engine maintenance provider to offer test runs using sustainable aviation fuel made from waste greases and oils. This can considerably reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Lower Saxony can be proud of this successful high-tech company, which is vigorously pursuing its strategy towards greater climate neutrality?.

?The new buildings are a successful ensemble of office and hall space and offer our employees a modern working environment?, says Jaap Beijer, Managing Director. ?Investments like this are an important building block in making the site fit for the future?. The expansion had become necessary because of the growing demand for engine maintenance.

?This expansion will allow the Hannover site to continue its decades-long success story and offer its customers first-class MRO services?, says Michael Schrey”gg, Chief Program Officer of MTU Aero Engines. ?The new buildings at the site exemplify how impulses emanate from Hannover throughout the entire MRO network of MTU?.
