Quartz Mountain Expands Operations To Coffeyville, KS

Plans To Manufacture Model 11E Subassemblies At New Location

A tentative lease agreement has been signed between Coffeyville Industries and Quartz Mountain Aerospace, Inc. (QMA), an aircraft manufacturer headquartered in Altus, OK.

QMA plans to expand its aerospace manufacturing operations in Coffeyville by producing the sheet metal subassemblies necessary to support accelerated production of the Model 11E single engine piston aircraft -- an iteration of the Luscombe Sedan -- at the company's Altus manufacturing facility.

During the past several months, the CEO/President of QMA, Mark Arciero and Vice President of Operations, Max Trimmell, have been meeting with representatives from the City of Coffeyville, the Montgomery County Action Council (MCAC), the State of Kansas, and Coffeyville Industries. This agreement will provide immediate manufacturing space for the aircraft maker to expand its manufacturing operations into the State of Kansas with the lease officially beginning on July 1, 2008.

As ANN reported, QMA received its first FAA airworthiness certificate last month. The company has since earned airworthiness certs for three more Model 11E production aircraft, and plans to steadily ramp up production.

QMA will begin immediate hiring to staff initial start-up operations within the leased space located on property, currently operated by Morgan Trucking. The property consists of a shipping/receiving area and a separate annex for placement of aircraft assembly tooling.
