What Turbine Controls does

Turbine Controls, also identified as TC MRO or TCIMRO, was founded in 1979 and began operations in 1980. It operates as an FAA-approved aircraft repair station providing maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for gas turbine engines, engine components, and accessories. The company reports more than 180 employees across Bloomfield, Connecticut, and Miramar, Florida, and holds FAA, EASA, CAAC, CAA UK, AS9100, ISO 9001, and Rolls-Royce certifications or approvals.

The company serves original equipment manufacturers, airlines, engine centers, asset managers, and government agencies through direct business-to-business relationships and quote-based pricing. Its operating scope combines specialized gas turbine engine and component repair with airframe-accessory MRO and an online TCI Parts product search and catalog.
