Authentically Enstrom

Based in Menominee, Michigan, Enstrom boasts a rich history of design and ingenuity. From the first drafted designs in 1943, through decades of innovation and progress, Enstrom continues to be the standard in mid-sized helicopter production, sales, service, and support.


A Culture Built on Pride

Enstrom always prioritizes the small, family-style atmosphere common passion for aviation, innovation, and supporting those in our community.

Our resurgence and continued success is attributed back to a simple philosophy – always do the right thing. Everyone, from our CEO to our mechanics to our engineers, comes to work each day with the same “roll up your sleeves” attitude.
