Oregon Aero, Inc.
recently received Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA PQ2505NM) from

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.
