    Your Challenges

    We Understand Your Pain Points

    Security Requirements

    ITAR, export controls, and classified programs require secure facilities and cleared personnel.

    Quality Standards

    AS9100 and aerospace-grade quality demands documentation and traceability.

    Large Components

    Aircraft parts, engines, and assemblies require specialized handling and storage.

    MRO Operations

    Maintenance, repair, and overhaul facilities have unique workflow requirements.

    Our Solutions

    Single-Source Advantage

    Why Work With One Aerospace & Defense Infrastructure Partner

    Aerospace and defense projects that split secure construction, storage, and MRO infrastructure across separate vendors create gaps in security clearance and accountability right when a program can least afford them. The benefits of working as one team includes:

    • One point of contact from design through commissioning
    • Secure construction, storage, and MRO scopes stay coordinated on one schedule
    • Fewer handoffs between trades reduces security and compliance risk
    • One team accountable for ITAR and AS9100 documentation across the project
    • Maintenance from the same team that installed the system

    Is It Time?

    Signs Your Facility Needs Aerospace Warehouse Solutions

    Canadian aerospace and defense operators usually reach out once these signals start showing up in daily operations:

    • Large component handling still relies on manual rigging more than it should
    • FOD prevention protocols are hard to sustain with current storage
    • Cleared storage space is at capacity with no expansion planned
    • MRO workflow bottlenecks are slowing turnaround on aircraft in the hangar
    • Documentation and traceability gaps are surfacing during audits
    • Program growth is outpacing current cleared and climate-controlled storage capacity
    Technologies We Deploy

    Custom Engineered Storage Systems We Deploy

    MTLI installs custom engineered storage systems built for oversized, security-sensitive aerospace and defense components, not adapted from general-purpose warehouse equipment after the fact.

    Engine Stand & Rotable Storage

    Purpose-built storage systems securely accommodate aircraft engines, rotable parts, and large assemblies while improving organization and accessibility.

    FOD-Controlled Material Handling

    Material handling solutions are designed to minimize foreign object debris (FOD), helping maintain safe, compliant, and high-quality aerospace operations.

    Secure Access Control Systems

    Integrated access control protects sensitive storage areas and supports the secure handling of aerospace and defense materials.

    Heavy Lift Handling Solutions

    Heavy-duty lifting equipment enables the safe movement of oversized aircraft components, improving workflow while reducing manual handling risks.

    Custom Engineered Storage Systems

    MTLI delivers custom engineered storage systems that support aerospace warehouse solutions and defense logistics infrastructure, providing secure, efficient storage for complex aerospace and defense operations.
