DENVER, Oct. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Western Aero
portfolio of companies (www.westernaero.com), a leading,
award-winning and FAA/EASA-certified service provider in the
aviation industry, today announced the completion of its
integration of the Canoga Park,
California-based aircraft parts and equipment company,
American Jet Industries. All three companies—Western Aero Services,
Western Aero Repair, and American Jet Industries—are now fully
managed under one administrative system. Additionally, all three
companies have updated their branding, which includes new logos,
websites, and corporate collateral.
"The integration of all three companies now provides a robust,
360-degree resource for the entire aviation community," explains
Scott Balfanz, who, along with his
wife Kim Balfanz, owns all three
Western Aero portfolio companies. "We are now able to provide
best-in-class aircraft parts and equipment sourcing and aircraft
repair services to all segments of the industry, from military to
commercial and cargo," he emphasized.
Michael Saso, the prior owner of
American Jet Industries, describes his decision to solely approach
Western Aero for this acquisition opportunity by pointing to: "The
Balfanz' industry-wide reputation for delivering the highest
standards of integrity, reliability and excellent customer
service." A chronological accounting of American Jet Industries'
storied history under Saso's stewardship can be viewed on that
company's new website.
As part of the integration process, all three companies have
undergone a comprehensive branding overhaul. As David Roth of the brand staging company, Get
Stirred Up (www.getstirredup.com) describes: "It was critical to
present the distinct attributes of all three entities in a bold and
fresh manner, reinforcing both the 360-degree resource and
concierge-oriented positioning that this integration ensures. That
included creating entirely new logos, websites and corporate
collateral for each entity."
There are now four new websites for the three Western Aero
portfolio entities: www.westernaero.com,
www.westernaeroservices.com, www.westernaerorepair.com, and
www.americanjetindustries.com. The new branding will be revealed at
today's 20th annual 707 Aircraft Working Group
convention in Oklahoma, where
Western Aero will be co-hosting an evening event.
