Precision Airmotive Acquired

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • Precision Airmotive, a manufacturer of aircraft fuel injection systems, has been acquired by Turn and Bank Holdings but will continue operating under its current name and in its Marysville, Wash., facility.
  • The acquisition follows Precision Airmotive's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, which was primarily caused by product liability litigation related to its former carburetor line, not its viable fuel injection business.
  • The new owners plan to reorganize Precision Airmotive while maintaining business as usual, continuing to produce RSA systems for certified aircraft and Silver Hawk EX systems for experimental aircraft, alongside rebuilds and parts.

The assets of Precision Airmotive have been acquired but it will continue under the same name and maintain its production facilities in Marysville, Wash. The company, which makes aircraft fuel injection systems, has been purchased by Turn and Bank Holdings, of North Carolina. Precision Airmotive filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last December citing product liability litigation costs from its former carburetor line. At the time it told customers the fuel injection line remained viable and would continue. Turn and Bank President Mike Allen said the plan is to reorganize Precision Airmotive but continue the business as usual. “We are excited about the opportunity this reorganization presents the global general aviation marketplace,” said Allen.

Precision Airmotive makes RSA fuel injection systems for the certified market and Silver Hawk EX systems for the experimental market. It also does factory rebuilds and overhauls and supplies parts. “Manufacturing and customer support operations will be conducted under the newly reorganized Precision Airmotive,” the company said in a statement.
