Hamburg, Germany - Thielert AG is taking over the PMA and aircraft
engine manufacturer Superior Air Parts, Inc. (SAP) based in Coppell
near Dallas in Texas, USA. SAP is the world’s leading producer of
engine spare parts for small aircraft used for general aviation
purposes. The acquisition of Superior Air Parts will enable Thielert
to expand its presence in the USA. Agreement on the take-over of SAP
was reached on the evening of March 13, 2006. The value of the
transaction is said to be around the 10 million US dollar mark, less
than 15 percent of the IPO income earned by Thielert AG last
November.
All SAP products have been licensed by the American licensing
authority FAA (Federal Aviation Administration). SAP is a
longstanding customer of Thielert in the area of aviation engine
components.
