Chromalloy New York, a division of Chromalloy Gas Turbine LLC is located in the beautiful Hudson valley in Orangeburg New York Chromalloy New York began in 1968 as a start-up technology center for the entire Chromalloy Group. Known as Research and Technology Division, the original charter was to develop technology, coatings, manufacturing and repair techniques for the world's air fleet which began utilizing a new generation of high by-pass ratio jet engines. In 1970, Chromalloy Research and Technology was certified as a FAA Repair Station. Through the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, Chromalloy Research and Technology Division continued to add repairs, coatings, and manufacturing capabilities for the latest engine components.
In 1994, Chromalloy Research and Technology was renamed Chromalloy New York. What began as a small laboratory on a gravel road in Orangeburg, New York has grown to be the largest division of Chromalloy Gas Turbine Corporation. Today's team at CNY continues to innovate and offer customized solutions to our worldwide customers with the realization that to maintain "world class" status we must reinvent ourselves to continually meet our customers objectives.
