Ranger TechWorks' President is Steve Hanvey, a well known senior executive in both DOD and Commercial aerospace design and sustaining engineering, testing & certification.

Ranger TechWorks will support customers with creatively tailored and cost effective engineering for new projects, carve outs for product development, subassembly design, modification engineering, sustaining engineering support, certifications and STC's (supplemental type certificates), or simple staff augmentation to smooth out manning requirements when rapid growth is being planned or reductions have become necessary.  Inquiries for support are already being taken by Hanvey at the Greenville SC engineering office.

Steve Townes, CEO of Ranger International and founder of Ranger Aerospace, said: "Ranger TechWorks will give our Prime Contractor and DOD customers a cost-advantaged approach toward getting engineering jobs done faster without investing in excess core staff. We are very fortunate to have an engineering leader as accomplished as Steve Hanvey to lead the charge."
