military aviation and power generation industries.

with the Techspace Aero Test Cell Engineering Business Unit
will continue to provide customers the same high level of
Service.
The addition of the strengths of both companies will lead
Cenco Inc and Techspace Aero Test Cell Engineering to become
one of the world leader in test cell design, manufacturing
and services.
