Sabreliner's Perryville, Mo. facility has been performing aircraft structural component repair and manufacturing essentially since it was opened in 1951.

Until 1981 it was a completion, delivery, and maintenance center for the Sabreliner series of aircraft produced in Los Angeles by North American Aviation, Inc., later Rockwell International. After a group of private investors purchased the Sabreliner Division in 1983 and formed Sabreliner Corp., the Perryville operation continued as the OEM core facility for all levels of Sabreliner maintenance and manufacturing. We maintain a current FAA Production Certificate (for Airplanes) and have FAA Parts Manufacturing Authority. We own all the original Sabreliner manufacturing tooling, and produce more than 90 percent of the airframe structural parts in-house at Perryville.

Military usage of the Sabreliner naturally led Sabreliner Corp. into Government contracting as the OEM support facility for these aircraft. Our Government aviation repair, modification, and manufacturing activities have expanded steadily over time, and we now provide these services for a variety of military and Public Use aircraft as either a prime contractor or a first-tier subcontractor.

We have the ability and experience to inspect, repair, and overhaul sheet metal and structural components and flight control surfaces, as well as proven capability to manufacture new items. Our facility performs these tasks for aircraft ranging in size from the T-37 to the C-5.

Production tooling is routinely used to fabricate sheet metal details and overhaul complete structural assemblies at Perryville. Methods including brake forming, hydroforming, stretching, shrinking, stretch press forming and heat treating are available for use by an experienced team of sheet metal technicians. Our equipment includes a 200-ton stretch press, capable of compound curved long-drawn extrusions or frames up to 25 feet long; a 350-ton hydropress; and shears/brakes with up to 14-foot capacity.

Perryville is able to utilize customer-furnished "certified" sheet metal and assembly tooling, and also has an experienced engineering and tool design staff able to refurbish and verify the customer's "non-certified" tooling and/or to reverse-engineer and produce all-new tools from parts.
