Maverick Aviation Group has acquired Maxcraft Avionics, a Canadian provider of avionics installation, repair and design engineering services, headquartered in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia.

This strategic acquisition strengthens Maverick's presence in Western Canada and positions the combined group as one of the most capable independent avionics and instrument service providers in North America and globally. For Maxcraft's customers, the transition ensures continuity in service, leadership and technical excellence, with added benefits from Maverick's coast-to-coast service network.

“For more than 35 years, Maxcraft has built its reputation on trust, technical depth and personalised customer care,” notes Trevor Rehberg-Besler, president of Maverick Aviation Group. “We're committed to preserving everything customers value about Maxcraft while bringing the added strength of a national platform and long-term investment in people, tools and infrastructure.”

Daryl Macintosh and Steve Nunn, two long-standing leaders at Maxcraft, will remain with the company and continue to oversee operations and customer service. Their roles ensure that the relationships and service standards customers have come to rely on remain unchanged.

“This acquisition is not a departure from who we are; it's a continuation,” says Nunn. “Partnering with Maverick gives us the ability to take Maxcraft to the next level, adding resources, expanding our capabilities and ultimately delivering more value to our customers.”

“Our customers count on us for technical depth, compliance knowledge and execution. That doesn't change,” adds Macintosh. “We're excited to continue serving our clients with the same hands-on approach, now backed by greater reach and long-term stability.”

Maxcraft's BC-based facilities include 30,000 sq ft of hangar space, staffed by 45 team members, the majority of whom are certified licensed technicians, engineers and AMEs. The company services both rotary and fixed-wing aircraft and is well-known for delivering complex cockpit upgrades, customised installations, responsive field support and specialised engineering solutions.

Maverick is a Canadian-owned aviation services group focused on avionics, instrumentation and non-destructive testing. Through its subsidiaries, Bristow Instruments, Vision Inspection Services Canada and now Maxcraft Avionics, Maverick supports private, commercial and military aircraft operators with expertise and reliability.
