Innotech Aviation Celebrates 50th Anniversary

Innotech Aviation is preparing to celebrate its 50th year in business, serving business and corporate aviation operators from around the world. Launched as Timmins Aviation in 1955, the company has grown into one of North America's largest and most comprehensive service providers.

At the dawn of the business jet era, the company became the Canadian distributor and service center for the de Havilland DH-125, which has evolved, with Raytheon, into the Hawker Series of midsize jets. Innotech remains a Hawker service center to this day.

Kirk Rowe, Innotech-Execaire Executive VP and COO, says the heritage and pride of his company drives its success. "We are extremely proud to have reached our first half century in this exciting business", Rowe said. "Our people are the heart of our success, and our customers are the beneficiaries of their total commitment. We all look forward to our company's next 50 years."

Today, Innotech is the authorized service center for Challenger, Global Express, Hawker, Citation and King Air aircraft, as well as Pratt & Whitney Canada, General Electric and Honeywell engines, and Allied Signal, Rockwell Collins, Universal and Honeywell avionics.

Sister division Execaire is the Authorized Sales Representative for the full line of Citation business jets, as well as providing comprehensive aircraft management services.

An FBO network, Innotech Aviation Services, is a vibrant part of the Innotech service system. The company is nationwide in scope, with facilities in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Halifax.

Innotech-Execaire specializes in large and medium business jets and is the authorized service center for many of the most popular business aircraft, as well as leading avionics and engine manufacturers. Heavy maintenance, repair, non-destructive testing and custom interior refurbs have been the mainstays of the company since 1955.

The Innotech-Execaire Aviation Group comprises Innotech Aviation, Execaire, Pacific Avionics & Instruments, and Innotech Aviation Services.

The divisions are wholly-owned by IMP Group International Inc., a diversified multinational Canadian corporation with 3,500 employees in four countries. The company has extensive interests in aerospace, manufacturing, airline and General Aviation services, industrial marine products and hotel management.
