ASR Takes Over The Iconic Strong Enterprises Parachute Operation

Aviation Safety Resources has acquired Strong Enterprises, turning them into one of the world’s parachute technology powerhouses overnight. In addition to announcements in which ASR chutes will be included in a number of new airframes, the strong deal is a massive development in the civil, commercial, and military segments. ASR reached an agreement with Marcie LaVanway to acquire 100% of the stock of Strong Enterprises -- who designs, engineers, tests, and manufactures complete parachute systems.

“The acquisition of Strong Enterprises adds a global leader in the parachute industry to the extensive product lines of ASR, and we are grateful for the opportunity to expand our capabilities. We look forward to a successful transition”, commented Larry Williams, ASR president, and CEO. He added, “Strong’s reputation for quality, innovation, and service make it a powerful addition to ASR, and we are pleased to bring this transaction to fruition.”

Headquartered in Orlando, Florida, Strong Enterprises manufactures various parachute systems, harnesses, replacement parts for general aviation and military customers. Established in 1961, Strong holds several TSOs and other qualifications for parachute systems used worldwide.
