AMETEK, Inc. today announced that it has completed its acquisition of First Aviation Services, a provider of highly engineered defence and aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services and a manufacturer of related proprietary components.
David A. Zapico, AMETEK Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are excited to welcome the First Aviation team to AMETEK.
First Aviation is an excellent strategic fit with our existing MRO business, creating attractive opportunities for market expansion and added scale in support of mission-critical aerospace and defence applications.
“Their proprietary products and services nicely complement AMETEK’s capabilities and strengthen our position across attractive platforms.”
First Aviation’s MRO capabilities include advanced electronics, rotor blades and assemblies, propellers, landing gear, and flight controls.
In addition, the company specialises in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of critical parts across a wide range of defence and aviation platforms.
First Aviation Services generates approximately $80 million in annual revenue and operates six centres of excellence throughout the U.S. They join AMETEK as part of its Electromechanical Group (EMG).
