Springer Aerospace was formed from two (2) pioneer aviation companies with history that goes back to the early 1970 s. In the late 1990 s, Springer Aerospace Ltd. and Skyservices Ltd. merged under the name of Springer Aerospace. Both were located in the same area and specialized in similar work and aircraft types. This merger combined the talents of both companies and gave the operations an economy of scale. From this humble beginning grew one of the largest MRO facilities in Canada which prides itself in quality workmanship and added value to their customers as their number one priority. Springer Aerospace is just nine (9) miles east of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and just across the St. Mary s river from the United States and northern Michigan.
