United Rotorcraft Solutions to move to larger facility
United Rotorcraft Solutions (URS), a premier aircraft completion facility, avionics shop and MRO, will soon begin the move to a larger facility.
President and Owner David Brigham first started the company in 2005 to meet the growing demand for high-quality systems integration for helicopters, as well as maintenance for this specific industry.
“We are very excited about the move” reports Brigham, “This move will provide us three times the space we currently have. We’ll maintain our current 15,000 sq. ft. facility as well. Our new facility will be able to accommodate the growth of URS and help us continue top service to our customers.”
The new facility increases the square footage by 40,000 square feet. Not only will the hangar space increase but the new facility will provide additional office space, a dedicated customer lounge and office and additional parts storage. This will allow us to bring in new programs that will increase our employment level from 37 to around 60 by the end of the year.
