FREDERICKSBURG, VA – January 2, 2014 – Zenith Aviation, an industry-leading aircraft parts supply and logistics support company, has taken over the entire 44,000-square foot building in Fredericksburg, Virginia, where its corporate headquarters is based.
The recent acquisition of Affinity Fidelis Consulting and Technologies — part of a strategic plan to expand the firm’s government contracting business — brought with it additional personnel, dictating the expansion. Zenith will now be able to have both the commercial business and the government contracting business in one location.
“This is an important part of our strategic expansion plan for Zenith,” said Bob Stanford, President and CEO of Zenith. “As our business grows, it helps immensely to have everything in one place.”

In 2012 Zenith invested more than $3 million to increase the size of its secure, climate-controlled warehouse, bringing the total size to 44,000 square feet, including a state-of-the-art parts automated inventory storage and retrieval system to improve storage capabilities and operational efficiencies.
