Atlanta, GA – February 26, 2019

Precision Aviation Group, a leading provider of products and value-added services to the worldwide aerospace and defense industry, and LORD Corporation, a leader in the management of vibration, noise and motion control (https://www.lord.com/products-and-solutions/vibration-and-motion-control.xml) – have entered into a strategic partnership to promote and support current and next generation LORD elastomeric helicopter components.

Established to provide added solutions for customers worldwide, the partnership enables Precision Aviation Group (PAG) and LORD to help reduce direct operating costs (DOCs), as well as improve service life by using the latest LORD elastomer technology products.  Rodolphe Leroy, manager of global sales, business development and marketing for the aftermarket at LORD, states, “PAG is a proven leader in MRO and supply chain logistics and this relationship ensures extended value for customers.” Leroy adds, “Precision Aviation Group will not only focus on supporting the Bell 206 and 407 platforms in the US and Canada, with an emphasis on tension torsion straps and main rotor hub kit components, but also assist with new LORD product improvements on additional platforms into the marketplace.”

“PAG’s global network and substantial investment in LORD products will make it easier for Bell 206 and 407 operators to access spares in real time, ultimately minimizing aircraft downtime,” said Ketan Desai, vice president of sales and marketing for PAG. “This agreement builds on PAG’s strategic roadmap of increasing its range of support for OEM’s. We are confident that this expanded relationship with LORD Corporation will bring added value to our customers,” adds Desai.
