Omaha, Nebraska-based Aircraft Specialties, Inc. (ASI) has named Mexican aircraft support company Aerospares Services, headquartered in Mexico City, as its exclusive authorized Mexican sales representative. Aerospares Services brings vast sales knowledge and the many strong relationships it has developed in Mexico to the ASI brand.

ASI has served the aviation industry with wheel and brake repair, overhaul, and exchange services from its FAA Part 145 repair station for the past 33 years. It is a distributor for Rapco products and in the past year has become a dealer for the Hot Stop L lithium-ion battery fire-protection kits, Skyflix portable in-flight entertainment systems, and U.S. Manufacturing & Design Company’s line of fluid transfer products for shops. The company also opened a repair-management division that provides customers with cost-effective solutions for their repair and purchasing requirements on accessories, GSE, avionics, and instruments.

“Having Aerospares Services on board as our authorized sales representative in Mexico just continues our recent growth strategy of adding new markets, in additions to new products and services to help further the ASI brand not just domestically, but internationally as well,” said Gene Portela, Aircraft Specialties' director of sales.
