Raisbeck has secured exclusive global distribution rights to a portfolio of STCs held by Metrea, enhancing its certified aircraft performance offering for commercial, military and special mission operators.

The deal gives Raisbeck exclusive rights to market, sell and support Metrea’s STCs through its OEM and MRO networks worldwide. The modifications include landing-gear seal upgrades, engine stacks, tyre options, weight increases, cargo compartments and camera or sight ports for King Air, Twin Commander and Caravan platforms.

“This partnership is an important step in Raisbeck's continued growth as a global leader in certified aircraft performance systems,” says Gregory Davis, president of Raisbeck Engineering. “Metrea's STCs are highly complementary to our existing portfolio, and through this agreement we are ensuring that these proven technologies remain available and well-supported for operators around the world.”

The partnership combines Raisbeck’s global support and engineering infrastructure with Metrea’s certified modifications, ensuring continued availability and lifecycle backing for both legacy and in-service systems.

“Raisbeck's established presence in the aerospace sector will ensure these proven modifications are promoted and supported with first-class technical expertise,” adds TJ Spitzmiller, director, solution development at Metrea. “Metrea looks forward to a productive and positive collaboration with Raisbeck.”

The agreement is now in effect, with product and support transition details to follow in the coming weeks.
