What Celtech does

Celtech Corporation, founded in 1976 and incorporated in 1983, designs and fabricates jet and turboprop mobile engine test stands and related ground support equipment for the U.S. military, Foreign Military Sales (FMS) programs, and aerospace OEMs. The company is headquartered in Carlsbad, New Mexico on a 10-acre, 12-building, 100,000 square foot campus adjacent to the airport, staffed by more than sixty qualified personnel. Since September 1, 2013, Celtech has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atec, Inc., the nation's oldest aeroengine test cell and support firm.

Celtech's core product line centers on the A/M37T-20C and A/M37T-21D jet engine and turboprop test stands supplied to the USAF, Air National Guard, and FMS programs, plus the A/E37T-24 and A/E37T-33 turboshaft test stands furnished to the U.S. Navy and Army. The company also manufactures Control Cabs integrated with its proprietary engine diagnostic and data collection software — ENDAS II, EDACS, and ADAQ — and a broad support equipment portfolio including noise suppressors (hush houses), fuel delivery systems, oil preservation systems, modular air start systems (CASP), pressure and temperature test datum sets, thrust stands, and intermediate test cells. Auxiliary offerings include electronic systems integration and repair, dress gear accessories, and surplus equipment. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001 certifications and is a certified Small Business per NAICS 336413.

Celtech operates as a B2B defense contractor with an enterprise field sales motion, engaging directly with U.S. military procurement offices (USAF, Navy, Army, ANG), FMS programs, and aerospace OEMs including GE Aviation, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls Royce, Honeywell, and UTAS. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of test stands and ground support equipment, electronic systems integration services, licensing of proprietary diagnostic software, and worldwide installation and service deployments. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated under standard government contracting processes. The company self-identifies as the largest supplier of A/M37T-20C and A/M37T-21D test stands for the USAF, ANG, and FMS markets, and holds multiple Cage Codes and DoDAAC registrations required for defense contracting.
