Victor Sierra Aviation Holdings has added The Av8 Group to its stable of general aviation aftermarket component manufacturing companies. Av8, which specializes in FAA parts manufacturer approval (PMA) development, has an in-house maintenance team that can handle overhaul and repair of business and regional airplane landing gear and electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic components.

The companies under the Victor Sierra umbrella collectively serve more than 45,000 customers and offer more than 3,500 proprietary PMA parts. In addition to Av8, the companies include Aviation Products Systems, McFarlane Aviation, and Tempest Aero Group.

“The acquisition of The Av8 Group enhances our position within our core product base of landing gears, wheels, and brakes while allowing us to expand our presence within the business and regional aviation segments,” said Victor Sierra CEO Scott Still. “Our collective brands are recognized leaders in engineering, manufacturing, and distributing high-quality aftermarket solutions. We’re excited to expand our market and product portfolio and deliver even greater value to our customers.”

“Securing a strategic partner capable of accelerating our growth trajectory and driving market expansion—while also recognizing the value of the culture we have created over the years—was a key priority,” said Av8 CEO Yoel Arnoni. “Victor Sierra brought a clear vision for growth and a deep respect for the foundational elements that have made our business successful.”
