BERWYN, Pa., Oct. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Triumph Group, Inc. (NYSE:TGI) announced today a definitive agreement to sell its Nashville based assembly operations to an affiliate of TECT Aerospace. TECT Aerospace manufactures complex aerostructure components, parts and assemblies from the full spectrum of traditional and aerospace alloys, and is headquartered in Wichita, Kansas.

The Nashville operations consist of long and large machining, processing and large-scale assembly. The two million square feet facility is located directly across from the Nashville airport. It has a workforce of approximately 300 people who support wing skin assembly and machining of stringers and spars. The business generated revenues of approximately $125 million during Triumph Group's fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

"Today's announcement of the sale of our Nashville site to strategic buyer TECT Aerospace reflects the value of the factory, its experienced workforce, and the customer relationships Triumph and its predecessor companies have maintained for 80 years. This sale is consistent with our announced plans to exit non-core operations and position the company for reinvestment in new areas of opportunity centered on our Integrated Systems and aftermarket businesses," said Dan Crowley, President and CEO of Triumph Group. "Since 2016, Triumph has divested 12 of the original 47 operating companies as we reshape our portfolio and reduce debt to enhance shareholder value."
