“EDN, a highly regarded repair and manufacturing company run by an exceptional leadership team, brings another specialty service and expertise to our offering as we continue to expand our family of aviation MRO services companies,” said Velocity CEO Dale Gabel. “The combined vision of our leadership and engineering teams gives Velocity competitive advantages and differentiated services we can provide to our customers.”
