Ozark drives direct global distribution of T53 spares
Ozark Aeroworks has shifted to direct global distribution for T53 spare parts, a change that lets engine owners work directly with the original maker for parts and engineering help.
Ozark Aeroworks president and CEO Ken Essary.

Ozark Aeroworks, the T53 turbine engine OEM, has now transitioned to direct global distribution of T53 spare parts.

As OEM, Ozark brings decades of product knowledge, engineering experience and long-term fleet support directly to customers. By moving to a direct distribution model, operators will have direct access to the OEM for parts procurement, technical support, engineering resources and fleet sustainment expertise.

“This transition allows us to collaborate more directly with operators and support partners around the world,” says president and CEO Ken Essary. “Our focus is on building closer relationships with operators and support partners around the world while providing direct access to our technical expertise and OEM resources. As the OEM, we are uniquely positioned to support operators through direct access to engineering expertise, product knowledge and long-term fleet sustainment resources.”

All new requests for quotes and purchase orders for T53 spare parts are now managed directly through Ozark Aeroworks, with certain limited exceptions. Existing purchase orders currently placed with NorcaTec will continue to be fulfilled through NorcaTec.
