PrimeFlight Aviation Services has acquired the assets of aircraft refuelling equipment supplier ProFlo Industries as well as a majority stake in the South American Free Trade Zone based ProFlo Latam. The acquisition is being made through PrimeFlight's ground support equipment (GSE) maintenance subsidiary, Global Aviation Services, based in Eagan, Minnesota.

“With the addition of the ProFlo team to our GSE maintenance division, we will be able to better control our inventory of refuelling equipment and support the continued growth of our existing fueling operations,” says Dan Bucaro, president and CEO of PrimeFlight. “We also will be able to leverage the ProFlo team's expertise to continue to grow our GSE maintenance division, which saw a rapid expansion with our acquisition of Global Aviation Services in October 2019.”

ProFlo Industries is a global supplier of aircraft refuelling equipment, including new and refurbished refuellers, bowsers, hydrant dispensers, hydrant carts, fuelling ladders, fuelling skids, floating suctions, storage systems and aviation fuelling modules. With sales and service offices strategically located across the globe, ProFlo Industries has placed a major emphasis on product quality and after sales support. ProFlo Industries also offers spare parts for all major makes and models of equipment as well as inspections and training.

“We are excited about the acquisition and look forward to the opportunity to accelerate our growth through enhanced capacity and capabilities,” ProFlo Industries president Terry Bosserman explains. “Leveraging the extensive combined footprint of PrimeFlight and Global Aviation Services, we will be better positioned to provide industry leading after-sales support and service.”
