The 402nd Maintenance Wing has been selected to receive the 2010 Maintenance Repair and Overhaul of the Year Award for its C-17 Production Transformation and Logistics Support Integration.

The MRO of the Year awards honor the best MRO and aftermarket entities around the world for pioneering achievements and value-adding accomplishments during the past year. The awards are given annually by Aviation Week and Overhaul & Maintenance magazines.

Brig. Gen. Lee Levy, 402nd MXW commander, said the award is a big accomplishment.

"It's pretty clear to me that it shows our workforce and innovations deliver a quality product with the best of them," he said. "It's a testament to the great work they do."

The awards are given in four categories: Outstanding airline maintenance group; Military center of excellence; Leading independent MRO organization; and Innovative supplier/OEM services provider.

The awards will be presented Tuesday at Aviation Week's MRO Americas Conference and Exhibition in Phoenix, Ariz.
