L2 Aviation, a Texan avionics integration, certification and aircraft modification services company, has acquired Advance Aero, a precision machining and sheet metal fabrication company based in Mooresville, Indiana. This acquisition represents a strategic step in L2 Aviation's long-term plan to expand its vertical integration capabilities and strengthen support for aircraft installation and kitting operations.

Advance Aero brings decades of experience in aerospace-grade machining and fabrication, supporting a wide range of complex components and assemblies. The company has built a strong reputation for quality, responsiveness and technical capability, making it a natural fit within L2 Aviation's growing manufacturing and integration ecosystem.

Through this acquisition, L2 Aviation will enhance its ability to control critical elements of the supply chain, improve production efficiency and deliver more complete, turnkey solutions to its global customer base. The addition of Advance Aero also supports L2's continued investment in domestic manufacturing and operational scalability.

“This acquisition is about control, capability and execution,” comments Tony Bailey, president and chief operating officer of L2 Aviation. “Advance Aero gives us the ability to bring critical manufacturing processes in-house, which improves quality, reduces lead times and strengthens our ability to deliver fully integrated solutions to our customers. Just as important, we are bringing in a highly skilled team that aligns with our standards and our culture.”

Advance Aero will operate as part of L2 Aviation's manufacturing organisation, with a focus on supporting internal programmes while continuing to serve existing customers. Integration efforts are already underway to align systems, processes and quality standards across both organisations, with a focus on maintaining continuity and performance throughout the transition.

“We built Advance Aero on a foundation of craftsmanship, reliability and customer commitment,” states Todd Wilson, president of Advance Aero. “Joining L2 Aviation allows us to take that foundation and scale it in a way that benefits both our employees and our customers. There is strong alignment in how both companies approach quality and execution, and we are excited about what we can accomplish together.”

The acquisition reinforces L2 Aviation's broader strategy to expand its capabilities across engineering, certification, manufacturing and field services. By integrating machining and fabrication directly into its operations, L2 is better positioned to support complex modification programmes, accelerate delivery timelines and respond to increasing demand for advanced avionics and connectivity solutions.

L2 Aviation will continue to evaluate strategic opportunities that align with its long-term vision of building a fully integrated, high-performance aerospace solutions platform.
