GPMS expanding its Certified Installer Network into Canada

GPMS International has identified numerous operators interested in new tech, like its predictive Foresight MX HUMS.

The first company to join the installer network is Alpine Aerotech, which focuses on helicopter maintenance service and support.

Todd Powers, Vice President of Sales for GPMS, said that the expansion into Canada has been driven by company growth, the business and safety benefits of Foresight MX, and the size of the Canadian helicopter market.

“Canada has the second-largest commercial helicopter fleet in the world. Operators need innovative solutions like our Foresight MX to provide predictive aircraft health and performance data to improve maintenance, safety and flight operations,” he said. 

On the partnership with Alpine Aerotech, Powers said: “Alpine Aerotech is known for its industry expertise and their collaboration with customers to upgrade aircraft and improve capabilities and safety.

“They are a great example of the companies we are looking to partner with to deliver Foresight’s capabilities throughout Canada.”

Alfonso Garcia, Vice President of Sales at Alpine Aerotech, said: “Our goal is to work with our customers to modernize their aircraft to make them safer, more efficient, and extend their lifecycle.

“Foresight MX offers a real advantage for our customers. Not only does it provide predictive HUMS insight into potential unscheduled maintenance events months ahead of time (reducing costs and allowing for better planning), but it also provides detailed Flight Data Management (FDM) information.”

Canada is not the first country GPMS has expanded into. In August, installation of GPMS Foresight MX was approved by National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil.
