Turbine Fuel Systems, Inc.

Established in 1994, TPS Aerospace (TPS) is the combined company of Texas Pneumatics Systems, Turbine Fuel Systems, and Aviation Industry Repair. The company was started with the goal of delivering three distinct benefits – superior quality, quick turnaround times and cost effective repairs. Today, they meet all OEM requirements for testing pneumatic and fuel valves, restarters, air cycle machines (ACMs), cooling turbines and pneumatic drive units (PDUs), submersible pumps, engine-driven and boost pumps, auxiliary power units (APUs) and fuel controls.

In September, 2016 TPS Aerospace was acquired by Aviation Technical Services (ATS) to better support customer needs by expanding their breadth of capabilities to service new types of components. Headquartered in Everett, Washington,  ATS has been providing maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services for commercial and military aircraft for more than 45 years.
