Authentically Enstrom
Enstrom’s story began with a mining engineer in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula experimenting with helicopter designs in the 1950s. Fast forward to today, and Enstrom is now a well-respected helicopter manufacturer with aircraft in operation around the world. We’ve grown from a tiny brick building in 1961 to a facility of over 173,000 sq. ft.

Every day presents a unique and interesting challenge. You may find yourself at a computer, on the manufacturing floor, and inside a helicopter all in the same day!
