The company celebrated its 70th birthday in 2020.

Stevens is now a U.S. and foreign government prime service provider of depot maintenance, re- furbishment and modifications for military versions of general aviation airframes. Stevens Greenville is a Class III repair station that is ISO9001: 2015, AS9110C, Defence Contract Management Agency (DCMA) 8210.1C certified, EASA and DGAC certified and GFRC compliant. Stevens’ Green- ville and Dayton facilities have DCMA on the field. Stevens Aerospace op- erates facilities in Greenville, S.C. (GYH), Dayton, Ohio (DAY), Nash- ville, TN (BNA), and also operates a 24/7 AOG-MRT Division.
Last year, Sasfai told Vertical maga- zine, “We treat every project, large or small, as though it was our own air- craft. From the day-to-day customer communication to the quality of our workmanship, we want our customer to feel like their aircraft is our only priority. I think that’s a large part of how we’ve achieved lasting success over more than 70 years.”
