Will Cooperate On Marketing, Certification Initiatives

CAV Aerospace Ltd. and Kilfrost have agreed in principal to a joint global marketing and engineering certification program for TKS ice protection fluids used in the general aviation industry.

CAV Aerospace manufactures and retrofits TKS ice protection systems for use on general aviation airplanes ranging from single-engine piston-powered aircraft to mid-size business jets. Kilfrost supplies fluid ice protection products to general aviation, in addition to the commercial aviation and other transportation industries.

"CAV Aerospace Ltd. and Kilfrost will take a team approach in the development, certification, distribution and sales of TKS ice protection fluids," said Kevin Hawley, president of CAV Aerospace Inc., the company's US ice protection subsidiary. "We look forward to partnering to expand the ice protection market primarily in the United States."

CAV will offer TKS fluids, produced by Kilfrost, to more than 4,000 aircraft operators who fly the TKS ice protection system. Joint business development initiatives for the two companies include marketing materials, advertising, web site promotions and trade show appearances.

Kilfrost's ice protection products are exported worldwide from production facilities in the United Kingdom and under license in the United States, mainland Europe and the Far East. Kilfrost's logistics system features a 24/7 helpline and ensures expeditious fluid delivery.
