A Growing Company In A Growth Industry
Started in 1995, as primarily an aviation turbine engine engineering consulting firm,
Advanced Turbine Services had slow beginnings. Its first real contract came in 1996 with
a Connecticut aerospace firm that serves as a division of a larger national
corporation. This contract continued until 2003.
Beginning in 1999, the United States Navy approached ATS with a concept--reduce the cost of repairing their aging fleet of marine turbines, while their upgrade SLEP (service life extension program)
was being accomplished. This concept resulted in Advanced Turbine Services
obtaining
its first government contract that has been renewed each year since its
inception. Working on this performance the U.S. Navy continues to solicit ATS for support.
Our five employees have a combined 60+ years of experience with these engine systems and each has
his own area of expertise.
Early in 1997, Advanced Turbine Services suffered a setback to its growth. The
company was awarded a multi-year contract with the United States Army, at a time
when it shared space with another company. After the pre-award survey, government representatives approved our quality
system and business plan, but had concerns about our facility. These concerns resulted in ATS having to submit a relocating plan.
The government rejected the plan and ATS appealed to the SBA. During this appeal, The
U.S. Army put a priority on the contract and Advanced Turbine Services' award was rescinded.
ATS would not lose a contract again because of its facility. In 1999, ATS relocated to
its present facility in Meriden, Connecticut.
Forward Thinking
Advanced Turbine Services is confident that its success will continue as it is a lower cost alternative to its customers than the OEM.
Low overhead, increased capabilities and customer service are key to our future.
Currently, ATS is the only non-OEM approved by the U.S. Navy to overhaul the
LCAC (landing craft air cushion) turbine engine fuel control and fuel manifolds.
ATS is the sole provider of all repairs to the military and commercial engine electronic control.
Long term growth for ATS includes the production of complete engine system
packages. These packages will focus on mobile and stationary 3 to 5
megawatt turbine powered gen sets.
