Prime Flight subsidiary ProFlo Industries acquired aviation refueling equipment supplier Garsite and portable restroom vacuum equipment supplier Progress Tank in an equity deal this week.
“This acquisition will bring two of the strongest names in the aviation refueling equipment industry together under the Garsite brand,” said Dan Bucaro, President &amp; CEO of PrimeFlight Aviation Services. “Together, we will be able to deliver a wider range of quality refueling and ground service equipment, an expanded inventory of stock equipment and parts, faster turnaround times, a larger maintenance network, and added engineering support.”
“We are excited to join forces with ProFlo to bring the highest quality equipment to market,” Garsite Vice President Teresa Montgomery, who will remain with the business, explained. “The support and resources we will gain from the ProFlo team with their newly expanded manufacturing facility within the free trade zone of Barranquilla, Colombia will allow us to better scale our business and meet global demand.”
Progress Tank has manufactured truck-mounted equipment used in the refined fuel, heating oil, and liquid waste industries, specializing in vacuum and fuel delivery trucks. Garsite manufactures aircraft refuelers and hydrant dispensers for into-plane fueling companies, oil companies, airlines, freight distribution companies, and fuel marketers.
Pro Flo's sister company, Prime Appearance, was named as the preferred aircraft detailing provider for this month by the Corporate Aircraft Association. The deal extends&nbsp;preferred pricing to all CAA members for a wide range of services.&nbsp;
