JENSEN BEACH, Fla., Sept. 23, 2019 — STS Aviation Group (STS), a leading global aviation solutions company, acquires Apple Aviation, a world-wide MRO organization based out of the United Kingdom.

With this acquisition, STS continues its recent global expansion. The company will immediately begin to offer aircraft Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) services to customers at a state-of-the-art aircraft maintenance facility located in Newquay, England. The facility houses more than 150,000 square feet of space; 40,000 of which is dedicated as a parts processing facility.

Mark Smith, President of STS Aviation Group, said “As some may recall, STS made a strategic move into Europe earlier this year after acquiring Triumph Aviation Services’ NAAS Division. And with the recent acquisition of Apple Aviation, our company continues to grow on a global scale.”

P.J. Anson, CEO of STS, said “This is a really exciting time for STS Aviation Group and the clients we service. So many of our existing customers have unique MRO needs outside of the United States, and now we have the facilities, the manpower and the strategic resources necessary to offer a full-range of aircraft maintenance solutions to clients all over the world.”

Bernard Longman, Founder and Director of Apple Aviation, said “Apple Aviation is a UK-based MRO that operates globally while supporting various customers including airlines, lessors, military organizations and OEMs. The business had grown rapidly over the last five years, and the founders decided that a partnership through acquisition was the best step forward for the company. We met with various investors and decided that the STS Aviation Group history, team and profile was the best fit for our business. Together, we look forward to expanding our services across the world as part of STS’ M.E.M. (Maintenance, Engineering & Modification) group. Scott Whittlestone and Simon Pickford, the other two founders of Apple Aviation, will also be remaining as key members of the management team with the intention of building the leading, third-party MRO provider in Europe.”

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

A global leader in aircraft modification and installation reaches an industry benchmark by installing, on average, 70 in-flight connectivity packagers per month while operating in four global regions including North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Melbourne, Fla., November 28, 2018 – In today’s hyper-connected world, airline passengers have grown to expect high-speed Internet connection on every flight. The trouble is, the aerospace industry is still playing catch up and trying to fuel this demand with modern solutions. According to a recent study, approximately 43% of aircraft in service globally offer passengers the ability to connect to the Internet in some way, shape or form, but thanks to the recent work of companies like STS Mod Center and STS AeroMod, the dream of high-speed, in-flight connectivity for everyone is moving closer to global reality.

Based out of Melbourne, Florida and Kansas City, Missouri, STS Mod Center and STS AeroMod have perfected the installation process of high-speed connectivity solutions across all commercial aircraft types.

“Each connectivity package we do, regardless of aircraft type, takes about three (3) days to complete. That’s fast,” says Daniel Burgess, Senior Vice President of STS AeroMod. “And given our team’s ability to deploy mobile, rapid-response teams across all corners of the world, we are now completing about 70 aircraft installations per month.”

Low TAT’s and rapid product rollout is what it’s all about for STS, and customers all over the world are starting to take notice.

“Name me one other company that can do a complete nose-to-tail install in three days,” says Mark Smith, Group President of STS Mod Center. “The truth is, I don’t know of a single company that can do installs as effectively, consistently and simultaneously all over the world like the STS Mod Center and STS AeroMod teams are doing right now.”

In addition to servicing both top-tier and low-cost carriers across North America and Europe, STS Mod Center and STS AeroMod are also working with clients on the ground in Asia and the Middle East.

A leading provider of global MRO services deploys a new division focused on offering maintenance, refurbishment, spare parts and warranty solutions as it relates to ground support equipment.

Melbourne, Fla., August 28, 2018 – STS Aviation Group announces the launch of STS GSE Services, a company based out of Melbourne, Florida that’s dedicated to offering cost-competitive maintenance, refurbishment, spare parts and warranty services to the aircraft ground support equipment market.

Mark Smith, Group President of STS Aviation, will oversee the operations of STS GSE Services alongside Gabriel Girard who has been promoted from his former role as Operations Manager for STS Mod Center to Director of Operations for STS GSE Services.

“As President of every company under STS’ Maintenance, Engineering and Modification Group, I am always looking for new and exciting ways to create synergies,” articulates Smith. “Take STS Mod Center and STS Line Maintenance, for example. These two companies will now have a go-to company for GSE services, and that company will be internally housed under the STS Aviation Group umbrella. These types of synergies not only save us money, but we’re able to pass on those savings to all of our clients requiring GSE services.”

In addition to servicing aircraft ground support equipment at its aircraft hangar facility in Melbourne, Florida, STS GSE Services looks forward to soon troubleshooting and repairing aircraft ground support equipment at STS’ growing network of 30+ line maintenance stations across the United Sates and Bahamas.

“Servicing GSE equipment will be at the center of what we do, there’s no doubt about that, but our team will also focus on refurbishing old equipment, selling spare parts and offering extended warranty services,” states Girard. “And given that we have the full backing and support of Mark Smith’s team and the extended STS Aviation Group family, we will be able to reduce client downtime and save them money no matter where they are, geographically speaking, or how fast they need the job done.”

Jensen Beach, Fla., August 14, 2018 – STS AeroStaff Services, the staffing company that started it all for STS Aviation Group in 1984, rebrands amidst a merger of operations with its sister company, STS Technical Services.

Moving forward, the consolidated companies will be known as STS Technical Services, and the brand shift was made to better reflect the organization’s current visions and future goals through the capitalization of synergies.

The combined company will continue to provide the global aerospace industry with robust staffing solutions. However, the merger will now offer that same user community end-to-end workforce management and professional services to solve talent acquisition challenges within the ever-changing landscape of the aviation industry.

“STS Aviation Group acquired Advantage Federal Resourcing back in 2012 and re-shaped that brand into STS Technical Services,” states Rick Koenig, President of STS Technical Services “For the past six years, the STS Technical Services team and I have operated under the STS Aviation Group umbrella as a sister operation to STS AeroStaff Services. Our client base has traditionally been across the defense, industrial and manufacturing industries. And when you boil today’s announcement down to its bare basics, what you really have is a consolidation of services – a reshaped focus to now offer our award-winning workforce management programs as one organization and across multiple industries.”

Combining the operations of both professional groups will strategically place STS Technical Services in prime position to be recognized as one of the largest workforce management solutions providers in the country.

Spearheading the day-to-day operations for STS Technical Services will be…

“Everyone affiliated with STS Aviation Group and its subsidiaries is really excited about this merger,” says Sachi Greene. “Moving forward, we will work as one company with four bases of operation. Brookfield, Wisconsin will be the new headquarters of our workforce management group, and we will also have large teams in Denver, Colorado, Jensen Beach, Florida and Oscoda, Michigan. In total, our cobranded operation of STS Technical Services will employ more than 160 staffing professionals full time, and we expect that number to grow significantly in the coming years.”

“We’ve always excelled as an aviation staffing company,” articulates PJ Anson, CEO of STS Aviation Group. “It’s what STS Aviation Group was originally founded on. But today we have evolved to become much more than that. With this move, our staffing vertical is now a true workforce management group that offers cutting-edge services to a growing variety of companies looking to supplement their workforce management pains with professional solutions that have proven to be effective… time and time again.”

Both brand and organizational changes will go into effect immediately. If you are interested in learning more, please visit STS Technical Services’ new websites at: www.sts-ts.com and www.ststechnicaljobs.com.
