Yingling Aviation, a full-service provider of maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) and fixed-base operation (FBO) services to business and general aviation aircraft, has acquired Global Engineering & Technology, Inc. (GETI), an aircraft interiors service provider based in Wichita, Kansas. The financial terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.
Founded in 1991, GETI specialises in aircraft interior design and restoration and has fabricated interiors for more than 4,500 business aircraft to-date. With this acquisition, Yingling, located at Dwight D. Eisenhower airport in Wichita, Kansas, will gain access to GETI’s capabilities across the full spectrum of aircraft interior repair and design services, including cabinet restoration, upholstered panel recovering, new furniture production, and seat recovering and refurbishment.
Yingling intends to continue to expand its Wichita footprint, with GETI’s more than 60,000 square feet of facility space further enabling capacity for growth.
“Integrating GETI into our operations will allow us to greatly increase our scope of work for interior renovations while accelerating client turnaround times,” said Bob Rasberry, CEO of Yingling Aviation. “Having collaborated closely with GETI over the years, we have first-hand knowledge of the quality of their team and its outstanding reputation across the industry.”
“Together, we have the potential to unlock real synergies by combining our knowledge and experience in interior fabrications with Yingling’s deep maintenance and repair expertise,” added Kurt Smith, president of GETI. “We look forward to working closely with the Yingling team as we integrate our organisations, diversify our customer base, and bring our comprehensive capabilities to market.”
