Wichita, KS, (May 18, 2010) — B&S Aircraft Parts & Accessories, an AMETEK company, celebrates 45 years of providing maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services for aircraft accessories, parts and components. The list of aircraft flying with B&S overhauled components includes virtually every type from the legacy Cessna 100-series up to the B-1 Lancer bomber. B&S plans to celebrate this milestone with numerous events through internal commemorations, and with its customers.
Founded on May 17, 1965, B&S has grown to become one of the largest accessory and component MRO providers in the aviation industry. Today, the company has general aviation, commercial, government and military customers around the world. B&S became part of AMETEK, Inc., in 2007. While it is now part of a major air and space defense corporation, its long-time customers still receive the same high level of personalized service they did in 1965.“Exceeding the customer’s every expectation remains our primary goal,” Richard Lewallen, B&S vice president, business unit manager said. “We take great pride in supporting the leaders in all facets of aviation and that their loyalty has enabled us to continue to grow even during these challenging economic times. ”The company recently added staff to both its power and fuel systems overhaul teams, and actively plans to hire more as the aviation industry continues to recover.
“Pride, passion, quality and experience are the four drivers behind our daily business,” Kevin Schrader, B&S service manager said. “I’ve been here for 31 years and our commitment to doing it right the first time has helped us build a large – and long standing – customer base worldwide.” B&S pairs its dedication to customer satisfaction with a commitment to unsurpassed quality. The company uses only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts in the overhaul and repair of its accessories and components. “We could use less expensive parts, but we know that OEM parts help ensure better value and reliability, enhancing the safety of the aircraft,” Schrader said. “It has to be the best before it goes in a B&S Aircraft box.”
