Upgraded: Abercrombie Promoted To VP Finance, Superior Air Parts

Timothy T. Archer, President and CEO of Superior Air Parts, Inc. has announced the promotion of Kent D. Abercrombie to Vice President, Finance.

“We felt Kent’s extensive background in dealing with various customer and vendor relationships would be extremely valuable as Superior continues its growth from being the leading aftermarket supplier of aircraft piston engine cylinders, components and parts, into the manufacturer of the newest FAA certified piston engine,” Archer said. “Both of these sides of our business have their own unique accounting requirements and I’m confident that Kent is up to the challenge.”

Abercrombie joined Superior in December of 2000 as the Director of Finance. Before coming to Superior he was Senior Financial Analyst for Honeywell’s Aerospace Hardware Division where he was responsible for the accounting of the Just-In-Time Contract program, which provides automatic hardware auditing and restocking services to leading aerospace companies. Prior to that he held the position of Assistant Director of Contract Administration at TriStar Aerospace from 1997 until the company became part of Honeywell in 1999.

“When you think of what it takes to bring a brand new piston engine to market, people really don’t consider accounting to be a big piece of it,” Abercrombie said. “But because Superior is now both a manufacturer of individual components and parts and the new Vantage Engine, we have the challenge of integrating both sets of accounting requirements together to create a system that works well for both sides of the business. It’s a whole new way of working with suppliers and vendors. These are very exciting times for everyone here at Superior.”

Abercrombie holds a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration from the University of North Texas.
