Jet Parts Engineering (JPE), a provider of PMA parts, DER repairs, and MRO services for commercial aircraft has acquired Cima Aviation, a prominent MRO company specialising in fuel and hydraulic component repairs. This strategic move further enhances JPE's ability to deliver comprehensive aftermarket solutions to its global network of commercial, cargo, regional, and military aircraft customers.
The acquisition of Cima Aviation will enable JPE to deliver even greater value through an expanded range of services, reduced turnaround times, and enhanced technical support. “Jet Parts Engineering is delighted to welcome Cima Aviation into our growing group of businesses,” said Anu Goel, CEO of Jet Parts Engineering. “Under Ramces Gallego's impressive leadership, Cima has developed technical expertise in fuel and hydraulic systems that is unmatched within the MRO sector. Equally, Cima's customer-first approach, commitment to quality, and rapid turnaround times align perfectly with JPE's values. This acquisition represents a significant milestone in expanding our MRO capabilities and delivering even greater value to our customers.”
Established with a focus on providing reliable and efficient aviation maintenance solutions, Cima Aviation has earned a strong reputation for technical expertise, outstanding customer service, and swift turnaround times. The company's proficiency in MRO services complements JPE's existing portfolio of PMA and DER solutions, creating a powerful and integrated service offering.
Ramces Gallego, President of Cima Aviation, expressed enthusiasm about the opportunities the acquisition brings for both customers and partners. “Our goal has always been to set new standards in service excellence, and this move aligns with our vision of growth and innovation in the aviation industry.”
The transaction was overseen by Vance Street Capital, a mid-market private equity firm specialising in investments in highly engineered solutions businesses across the aerospace and defence, industrial, and medical sectors. JPE is part of the Vance Street Capital portfolio.
“Cima Aviation's outstanding reputation for quality service and technical proficiency makes them a natural fit within JPE's portfolio of companies,” said Nic Janneck, Partner at Vance Street. “These same principles—customer-first attitude, high quality standards, and humility—are what we prioritise in all of our investments. We are excited to continue supporting the JPE team on their growth journey.”
