Press releaseIssued by Aerometals and published as received — not written by Airframer’s editors.

Aerometals announced today that they have completed the purchase of all shares of FDC/aerofilters. Previously they owned the majority of the company. With the complete acquisition of FDC/aerofilters, FDC/aerofilters will now be called Aerometals.

“People in the helicopter business have known about the high quality of Aerometals PMA parts for years,” said Rex Kamphefner. “The filters we produce carry the same level of quality, engineering expertise and company backing. The filters may have a new company name, but they remain the same people manufacturing the same great products.”

The two companies have appeared together at industry tradeshows and events for the past few years and the transition will be seamless. For customers making purchases, the filter part numbers will remain the same. All operations including the manufacturing of the filters will remain in El Dorado Hills, California just outside Sacramento.
