Rotorway International, the oldest and largest self-build helicopter company in the world, continues to forge ahead with expansion. The acquisition of PMC manufacturing, an ISO 9000:2000/AS9100 company, allows Rotorway International to grow into the certificated environment and also allows both companies to benefit from their respective strengths.

Rotorway acquires knowledge in manufacturing in a certificated aerospace environment and PMC grows from aerospace parts manufacturer to manufacturing components for a complete rotorcraft. As part of the Rotorway expansion, Rotorway and PMC will combine operations resulting in a 20 percent net increase in employees in the United States. The combined company will eventually consolidate its four US locations into one large ISO/AS certified manufacturing environment. The intermediate step will be to combine the manufacturing and assembly buildings into one location. Grant Norwitz, the company CEO said, “The economic downturn allows us to focus on combining our operations into one efficient ISO9000:2000/AS9100 environment, which enables us to build an even safer and more reliable product.” Mark Porter, the company president and COO added that “consolidation allows us to meet the increasing demand for our products while ensuring the best customer service for our current owner’s group which numbers over 2000 pilots and rotorcraft.” Rotorway continues to expand even in these tough economic times. Rotorway International has already outgrown its new Chandler facility and is looking for larger premises. This expansion is echoed in its Cape Town facility with positions open and an expected 45% growth in personnel.
