About Us
We are Stevens Aerospace and Defense Systems.
The Stevens team has been setting the standard for excellence in the world of aircraft maintenance, repair, and refurbishment for more than 70 years.

Come see how our legacy for precision, dedication, and a genuine love for aviation helped us grow from a little-known aircraft service department to one of the premier MROs in aviation.

Our History
We’ve been leaders in aviation since 1950.
The Stevens Aerospace story begins back in the 1940s when J.P. Stevens and Company, one of the era’s largest textile makers, recruited a team of aviation experts to maintain their small fleet. Word quickly spread of the team’s dedication to service and personal approach to aircraft maintenance, and it wasn’t long before other owner-operators were bringing their airplanes to Greenville, South Carolina. By 1950, Stevens Aviation was born, and we’ve been ascending ever since. Explore our milestones below to learn more about the key moments that made us who we are today.

Ross Russo
Embraer Phenom Owner/Operator
With Stevens, I’ve got a guy who knows everything there is to know about Embraer. A team who I trust, who I know are on my side. Their #1 concern is that I’m a happy customer with a safe airplane.
Patrick Hosmann, Jr.
Managing Partner at Southern Cross Aviation
It’s good to work with a team that knows these aircraft and commercially speaking, “gets” the concept. We feel with this facility and resources, it’s a good team to both market the airplane and bring it to market condition.
Evan S.
Citation 525 Pilot
Everything is always on time and goes as planned, communication is smooth, and I couldn’t ask for anything more from a maintenance facility.
