WOOD DALE, IL, Oct 16, 2025 – AAR and Eaton have signed an agreement making AAR an authorized service center for Eaton’s commercial aerospace customers in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). AAR will initially concentrate on hydraulic pump repairs.
Under the agreement, AAR will handle repair and overhaul services for Eaton’s hydraulic components used in commercial aircrafts. The repair-works will be performed at AAR’s component services facility in Amsterdam, providing support and reducing turnaround time for customers.
The agreement strengthens Eaton’s hydraulic repair functions by ensuring the use of repair manuals and certified OEM spare parts. It ensures consistent quality through the new authorized service center.
“Our strategic agreement with AAR demonstrates our commitment to improving customer satisfaction by offering airlines expanded options for hydraulic pump repairs and extends our collaboration beyond spare parts distribution,” said Matt Norman, vice president, aftermarket and commercial services for Eaton Aerospace Group.
“AAR is pleased to become an authorized service center in EMEA, combining our quality service with Eaton’s strong aftermarket support. Our highly competitive offering using Eaton parts is well matched to the current market landscape,” said Jim Berberet, AAR’s senior vice president of component services. “This is an exciting approach for customers who desire quality and durability in a third-party MRO alternative.”
