Aerox Aerospace Group has acquired N23D Services, which manufactures FAA-PMA steel and composite gas cylinders for aerospace oxygen and compressed gas systems. The N23D cylinders equip airline, business, and military aircraft.
Earlier this year, Aerox purchased Omnigas Systems, which provides hydrostatic testing and MRO services for oxygen system components and fire-suppression systems. Aerox Aerospace includes Aerox Aviation Oxygen Systems, Omnigas Systems, and Aerox Fluid Power. N23D’s Paul Mira is now N23D quality manager, and the company is operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of Aerox Aviation Oxygen Systems.
According to Aerox, which designs and manufactures oxygen systems for airframers, aeromedical interiors manufacturers, and other oxygen systems integrators, adding “N23D Services further enhances Aerox‘s capabilities to support a broader in-service fleet and a wider range of oxygen system manufacturers.”
“We are confident that our acquisition of N23D Services will enhance our ability to serve the needs of our common customer base,” said Scott Ashton, president and CEO of Aerox. “N23D Services brings a broad portfolio of FAA-PMA compressed gas cylinders for aviation oxygen and pneumatic systems and evacuation slides. Combined with the overhaul and repair capabilities in both oxygen components and fire-suppression systems at Omnigas Systems, we are confident that the integration of N23D Services will deliver further exceptional value to our combined global customer partners.”
