Setna iO, a global aftermarket aircraft part supplier, and its sister company Setnix, a premier MRO repair station, today announced the expansion of its aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul operations with the acquisition of a new facility in Tempe, Arizona.
The newly acquired facility, located at 1345 S. 52nd Street in Tempe spans 112,000-square-feet – over three times the size of the previous 30,000-square-foot location. The new facility will enable Setna iO and Setnix to expand its operations and equipment from 44 served product lines to over 100 within a year, including main engine services. The expansion is set to create more than 130 new jobs and is expected to be fully operational in 2025.
“Accelerating our operations in the new facility is an exciting challenge and a testament to the success we’ve experienced thus far in Arizona,” said Robert James, President of Setnix. “The new space allows us to expand our workforce and capabilities to better support our customers worldwide. As an entrepreneur-led company, we are particularly proud that this expansion will give employees the opportunity to grow alongside us and take on leadership roles within the organization.”

We are grateful to Setnix for its continued commitment to Arizona and look forward to supporting their success in Tempe.”
