Blackhawk, AVEX, and Finnoff to Join Under One Corporate Roof
New State Capital Partners announced the creation of a general aviation platform to provide support for the Pilatus PC-12.
The firm's recent merger with Finnoff Aviation Products led the way for a combined corporate body to merge their Pilatus offerings under a single roof. New State Aviation Holdings will combine New State Capital Partner's previous investments in Blackhawk Aerospace with the Finnoff catalog, offering a range of support beyond the PC-12 to a multitude of aircraft using the Pratt & Whitney PT6. Among New State's other investments, AVEX Aviation will lend their support to the new company with a focus on TBM series aircraft.
Though Finnoff has been acquired by New State Capital Partners, the executive staff will stay in position to continue their work under new management. Their history in upgrading the Swiss PC-12 has led to a number of proprietary products, improving the Pilatus to create a quieter, faster, quicker, aircraft. Finnoff has served as a distributor for MT Propeller's 5 and 7-blade propellers for the PC12, as well as their 5-blade propellers for the King Air 90’s, 200’s, and 350’s.
“The combination of Finnoff’s engine and propeller upgrade capabilities with our existing Blackhawk operation will provide additional value to the Pilatus operator community,” said Chad Cundiff, CEO of NS Aviation. “It also expands our core product offerings and generates unique cross-selling opportunities with the Blackhawk team. We welcome Chris Finnoff and the Finnoff team to NS Aviation and look forward to working together to offer a broader portfolio of products and services for owners across a wider variety of aircraft.”
“Finnoff Aviation is well known for its deep industry experience and strong customer relationships built on decades of superior customer service. Adding their products and expertise to the NS Aviation family allows us to significantly accelerate the development of new aircraft upgrades,” said Blackhawk CEO Jim Allmon.
“We’re excited to join NS Aviation and give our team the opportunity to leverage the wider portfolio of AVEX and Blackhawk products for new and existing clients,” said Chris Finnoff. “NS Aviation shares our commitment to maintaining our company’s values and long-standing dedication to service and technical excellence.”
