L2 Aviation acquires Advance Aero

Avionics company L2 Aviation said it has acquired machining and sheet metal fabrication company Advance Aero to expand its vertical integration capabilities and support for aircraft installation and kitting operations.

Advance Aero has decades of experience in aerospace-grade machining and fabrication. The company supports production of complex components and assemblies.

L2 Aviation said this acquisition will enhance its ability to control critical elements of the supply chain, improve production efficiency, and deliver more complete, turnkey solutions to its global customer base.

“This acquisition is about control, capability, and execution,” said Tony Bailey, president and chief operating officer of L2 Aviation.

“Advance Aero gives us the ability to bring critical manufacturing processes in-house, which improves quality, reduces lead times, and strengthens our ability to deliver fully integrated solutions to our customers. Just as important, we are bringing in a highly skilled team that aligns with our standards and our culture.”

Advance Aero will operate as part of L2 Aviation’s manufacturing organisation. Advance Aero said L2 will continue to serve existing customers while integration efforts are already underway to align systems, processes, and quality standards across both organizations.

“We built Advance Aero on a foundation of craftsmanship, reliability, and customer commitment,” said Todd Wilson, president of Advance Aero.

“Joining L2 Aviation allows us to take that foundation and scale it in a way that benefits both our employees and our customers. There is strong alignment in how both companies’ approach quality and execution, and we are excited about what we can accomplish together.”
