New Building Provides Additional 16,000 Sq. Ft.
Oregon Aero, Inc.
recently received Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA PQ2505NM) from
the FAA to produce certified parts -- and is upgrading its
facilities to meet the expected demand.
"Oregon Aero is significantly increasing our production of
certified parts," said Mike Dennis, president and CEO of Oregon
Aero. "Our newest facility enables us to expand production capacity
with improved technology and processes." The new 16,000 sq. ft.
building will facilitate implementation of all the specific
production requirements of the PMA.

private company with a handful of employees. The company has been
