About Zavala Tecnología Avanzada

Zavala Tecnología Avanzada is an engineering services company which specializes in the design and analysis of complex turbine hardware. Zavala Tecnología Avanzada was founded April of 2010 as a spinoff of Essig Research, Inc. in the US. The company was formed to take advantage of the lower cost structure in Mexico as compared to the US. The engineers at Zavala Tecnología have been trained by engineers at both Essig Research and General Electric Aircraft Engines.

Zavala Tecnología Avanzada uses the latest third party software packages such as ANSYS, UNIGRAPHICS and NASTRAN. We also enhance these codes with software we have developed in-house. Coupled with our trained engineers, we are able to complete projects faster, of better quality, and at lower cost than our competitors.

Our major customers include General Electric Aircraft Engines, General Electric Power Systems and Essig Research. If your organization is involved with the design and analysis of complex parts in severe environments, feel free to contact us.
