The company has an extensive global service network to support its products, with operations in more than 50 locations worldwide.

Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, the company is headed by President & CEO, David L Joyce.

supplier of large commercial aircraft engines. In 2007, the company acquired Smiths Aerospace, for USD4.8 billion, significantly broadening its offerings for aviation customers.
