With completion of the sale of DeCrane Aerospace to Goodrich in September,
the former DeCrane completion and ­refurbishment center and auxiliary fuel ­system specialist Pats Aircraft Systems has ­relaunched itself as a stand-alone company with considerable financial backing.

While Charlotte, N.C.-based Goodrich acquired most of the DeCrane ­companies earlier this year, Pats became part of Wayzata Investment Partners. Wayzata
was involved in the financial arrangement for the DeCrane acquisition.
Under the new umbrella, Pats is refocusing on cabin completion and refurbishment of one-off-one-at-a-time aircraft, “delivered under budget and on time,” said new Pats CEO John Martin.
