“Securing a strategic partner capable of accelerating our growth trajectory and driving market expansion, while also recognising the value of the culture we have created over the years, was a key priority,” says Yoel Arnoni, CEO of Av8 Group. “Victor Sierra brought a clear vision for growth and a deep respect for the foundational elements that have made our business successful.”

Victor Sierra CEO Scott Still adds: “The acquisition of the Av8 Group enhances our position within our core product base of landing gears, wheels and brakes, while allowing us to expand our presence within the business and regional aviation segments. Our collective brands are recognised leaders in engineering, manufacturing and distributing high-quality aftermarket solutions. We're excited to expand our market and product portfolio and deliver even greater value to our customers.”
