Online aircraft supply store BAS Part Sales, based in Greeley, Colorado, has purchased White Industries. Founded approximately 70 years ago, White Industries is recognised as one of the oldest businesses in the salvage/used aircraft parts industry, most recently trading as Unusual Attitudes.

Other than the vast number of aircraft parts and fuselages, BAS Part Sales will gain four employees with over 80 years of aviation experience, a second location in Bates City, Missouri and 90,000 square feet of warehouse space, along with 178 acres of yard for outdoor aircraft and fuselage storage. The company currently has 26 employees, 48,000 sq ft of hangar, and about 10 acres of yard.

Additionally, the acquisition will allow BAS Part Sales access to the business jet business.

“Currently we are limited to general aviation, which is defined as piston-driven engines with propellers,” says Jared Boles, company president. “By acquiring White Industries, we gain access to jet engine aircraft parts and fuselages, and that is a huge step up for us. By expanding our inventory and expertise for piston engine aircraft parts for brands such as Cessna, Beechcraft, Cirrus, Mooney and Piper, as well as expanding into jet engine aircraft parts for brands such as Learjet, Hawker, Mitsubishi, JetStar, Merlin, Beechjet and Jetstream, we are putting even more distance between us and our competitors.

“At BAS Part Sales, we are excited about the acquisition, and we know our customers will be thrilled with the sheer extent of the inventory we'll have to offer. We're also thrilled to welcome White Industries' employees to our team, who will no doubt enjoy being part of our intensely customer-focused culture. We're proud of our exceptional customer service, which goes unrivalled in our industry.”

BAS Part Sales ships aviation parts of all shapes and sizes worldwide, offering a 90-day money-back guarantee.
