Operating from state-of-the-art facilities in Irvine, California, and Sydney, Australia, we deliver customer-focused solutions built on practical innovation, technical excellence and reliability.
Thomas Global’s success is defined by enduring partnerships with major airlines, original equipment manufacturers, maintenance and repair organizations, and defense and government agencies.

Our strength lies in a highly specialized engineering workforce—teams in the United States and Australia committed to precision, integrity and performance. As a privately held company, Thomas Global combines the stability of long-standing experience with the agility of an emerging enterprise.

“Thomas Global Systems’ seventy year journey is a fascinating insight into the enthusiasm, nous and technical skill of the Hutchinson family and its employees. In the time it has been in operation, Australia, the world, and the way we conduct business has altered immensely. Yet Thomas has managed the roller coaster ride of technological change, the cyclical nature of the civilian and defence industry markets it operates in and the advent of the ‘global economy’ with assurance.”
