4 March 2021: Uwe Zachau, with over 15 years’ experience in the maintenance, repair and overhaul business has assumed the position of Managing Director and CEO of MTU Maintenance Canada.
Michael Schreyögg, Chief Program Officer, MTU Aero Engines said, “We are delighted that Uwe Zachau will be heading up our facility in Delta, B.C. Zachau takes over from Helmut Neuper, who ran the facility over the past four years and left the company of his own accord. Thanks to Helmut Neuper for his commitment over the past years. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
“We are confident Uwe’s extensive experience within the MTU family will make him the perfect leader to steer the facility and drive innovation forward in the coming years,” added Schreyögg. As Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer of EME Aero, he oversaw the construction and introduction of a green-field facility specialized in MRO for the GTF family of engines. Zachau combines this operational experience with valuable knowledge in the field of industrial engineering and the implementation of new programs and technologies into MTU’s MRO shops.
MTU Maintenance Canada repairs and overhauls engines and accessories and performs engine tests. The company holds licenses for work on the CF6, CFM56 and V2500 engine families. Alongside accessory repairs, the Canadian engines experts also offer their customers so-called Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) management services which play an increasing role in MTU’s service offerings. Last year, the company signed two significant contracts with the United States Air Force and GE Aviation for F108 and F138 engine services, securing workload for the facility for years to come.
