Chromalloy

What Chromalloy does

Chromalloy is a privately held, Palm Beach Gardens-headquartered provider of FAA-certified aftermarket solutions for gas turbine engines, operating from over 20 locations worldwide and serving commercial aerospace, military, and energy markets. Founded approximately 75 years ago, the company has developed over 60 FAA-approved gas path Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) components across major commercial engine platforms including the CFM56, V2500, CF6-80C2, and PW4000, with the portfolio having accumulated more than 6 billion part flight hours and zero Airworthiness Directives. Its core offering combines PMA new parts, Designated Engineering Representative (DER) repair services, and Used Serviceable Material (USM) inventory, complemented by an engine asset management and trading unit (Chromalloy Material Solutions) and an energy-segment operating unit (Turbine Services Limited in Glasgow).

The company's technology base is a vertically integrated turbine airfoil value stream spanning design at the Palm Beach Gardens Engineering Center of Excellence, casting at Tampa, machining and EB-PVD thermal barrier coating at the Oldsmar Parts Manufacturing Center of Excellence (operated through wholly owned subsidiary BELAC LLC), and advanced in-house inspection. Recent capital deployment includes over $50M in equipment investment and a new Oldsmar manufacturing site that has added more than 400 jobs. Commercial models are mix-based: transactional PMA parts sales, per-repair service fees at FAA-certificated repair stations, transaction-based USM sales and engine/module trading through CMS, and multi-year fleet supply agreements with operators and MROs (e.g., Lufthansa Technik through 2035). Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with exclusive global distributor AAR for the CF6-80C2 and PW4000 HPT blades, plus an EMEA regional organization spanning offices in Belgium, Rome, Dubai, Jeddah, and Thailand.

Revenue mechanics derive from four streams: PMA parts sales (transactional plus fleet contracts), DER repair services (per-repair professional services), USM sales (transactional), and engine asset management and trading. Pricing is quote- and contract-based with no public list pricing. The customer base spans commercial airlines and operators, MRO providers, engine lessors and asset owners, U.S. and allied military branches, and energy/power generation operators using LM-series aeroderivative and heavy-duty gas turbines. The company is led by President and CEO Chris Celtruda (appointed June 2024) and is supported by a recently refreshed executive team including CFO Lee S. Eckert, CIO Tano J. Maenza, CHRO Cariny Camacho, EVP Russ Shelton, VP Marketing Kristen Samson, and VP Energy Brion Patt, with Paul Browning joining the Board of Directors in June 2025.
