Pro Aero Aviation, based in Kamloops, B.C., Canada, has completed the asset purchase of Stauffer Aero, a division of Heritage Aero (Calgary). The acquisition will enable Pro Aero Aviation to expand into new segments of the maintenance, repair and overhaul of aircraft and helicopters.

Rob Wharf, owner/president of Pro Aero Aviation and Tim and Carol Morrison of Stauffer Aero announced the sale. Wharf said, “We’ve always respected Tim and Carol’s commitment to the certified piston-engine market and their high standards of quality and service. Stauffer Aero is well aligned with Progressive Air’s focus on quality and customer service.”

Progressive Air Group of Companies, the parent of Pro Aero Aviation, will continue to support Stauffer’s clients from its Kamloops base with regularly scheduled service visits to the region. Stauffer’s telephone number will remain active, and calls will be handled by Progressive Air’s sales staff. Stauffer Aero’s website will be updated to match Pro Aero’s corporate branding.

“With the acquisition of Stauffer Aero’s assets, Stauffer’s customers can enjoy a wider set of services offered by the Progressive Air Group of Companies including an extensive range of aviation parts, on-wing work and non-destructive testing services," said Wharf.
