Berwyn, Pennsylvania – Triumph Group Inc. is realigning into four business units.
Consolidating from six to four business units will reduce the number of operating companies and locations and will enhance accountability, eliminate redundancies, and reduce costs, according to company officials. Triumph will now align its organizational structure, operations, and financial reporting for fiscal year 2017.
“Triumph’s new structure better supports our go-to-market strategies and will allow us to more effectively satisfy the needs of our customers while continuing to deliver on our commitments,” said Daniel J. Crowley, Triumph’s president and chief executive officer.
The four business units are as follows:
- Integrated Systems. Provides integrated solutions including design, development, and support of proprietary components, subsystems, and systems, as well as production of complex assemblies using external designs. Capabilities include hydraulic, mechanical, and electro-mechanical actuation, power, and control; aerospace gearbox solutions including engine accessory gearboxes and helicopter transmissions; active and passive heat exchange technology; fuel pumps, fuel metering units and full authority digital electronic control (FADEC) fuel systems; hydro-mechanical and electromechanical primary and secondary flight controls; and a broad spectrum of surface treatment options. Thomas Holzthum, formerly corporate vice president – Systems, has been appointed executive vice president, Integrated Systems.
- Aerospace Structures. Supplies commercial, business, and military manufacturers with large metallic and composite structures. Products include wings, wing boxes, fuselage panels, horizontal and vertical tails, and sub-assemblies such as floor grids. Inclusive of the former Vought Aircraft Division, Aerospace Structures also has the capability to engineer detailed structural designs in metal and composites. MaryLou Thomas, formerly corporate vice president – Composites, Structures & Interiors, has been appointed acting executive vice president, Aerospace Structures. Norman Jordan has resigned from his role as president of Triumph Aerostructures – Vought Aircraft Division (VAD), effective April 30, 2016, to pursue other interests. Both internal and external candidates will be considered for the Aerospace Structures position.

Capabilities include complex machining; gear manufacturing; sheet-metal fabrication; forming, advanced composite and interior structures; joining processes such as welding, autoclave bonding, and conventional mechanical fasteners; and a variety of special processes including super-plastic titanium forming, aluminum and titanium chemical milling, and surface treatments. Rick Rosenjack, formerly corporate vice president – Structures, has been appointed executive vice president, Precision Components.
- Product Support. Provides full life cycle solutions for commercial, regional, and military aircraft. Triumph’s extensive product and service offerings include full post-delivery value chain services that simplify the MRO supply chain. Through its line maintenance, component MRO, and postproduction supply chain activities, Triumph’s Product Support group is positioned to provide integrated planeside repair solutions globally. Capabilities include fuel tank repair; metallic and composite aircraft structures; nacelles; thrust reversers; interiors; auxiliary power units; and a wide variety of pneumatic, hydraulic, fuel, and mechanical accessories. Michael Abram, formerly corporate vice president – Aftermarket Services Group, has been appointed executive vice president, Product Support.
Michael Perhay, corporate vice president – Systems & Fabrications, has retired after more than 13 years of dedicated service to Triumph. The operating companies formerly in the Systems & Fabrications group have been aligned into the new organizational structure.
Also, to oversee Triumph’s transformation efforts, the company has created the Transformation Delivery Office (TDO). The TDO will be responsible for driving the successful realization of the transformation plan and execution of the One Triumph strategy and Triumph Operating System (TOS). The TDO will govern and drive the implementation of critical projects needed to achieve breakthrough value and attain full potential results.
