WOOD DALE, Ill., Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AAR CORP. (NYSE: AIR), a leading provider of aviation services to commercial and government operators, MROs, and OEMs, and Eaton today signed an agreement for AAR to become an authorized service center for Eaton's commercial aerospace customers across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).

Under the agreement, AAR will provide local repair and overhaul of Eaton's hydraulic components for large commercial aircraft. The services will be performed at AAR's Component Services facility in Amsterdam.

Leaders from AAR and Eaton connected at MRO Europe in London on October 15, 2025.

This service agreement strengthens the repair capabilities for Eaton's hydraulic products by ensuring the use of official repair documentation and maintaining consistency through OEM spare parts via a new authorized service center.

"Our strategic agreement with AAR demonstrates our commitment to improving customer satisfaction by offering airlines expanded options for hydraulic pump repairs and extends our collaboration beyond spare parts distribution," said Matt Norman, vice president, Aftermarket and Commercial Services for Eaton's Aerospace Group.

AAR will initially concentrate on hydraulic pump repairs for commercial customers in EMEA, with plans to broaden its portfolio to additional products and regions in the future.

"AAR is pleased to become an authorized service center in EMEA, combining our quality service with Eaton's strong aftermarket support. Our highly competitive offering using Eaton parts is well matched to the current market landscape," said Jim Berberet, AAR's Senior Vice President of Component Services. "This is an exciting approach for customers who desire quality and durability in a third-party MRO alternative."
