Mid-Canada Mod Center (MC2), a Canadian leader in avionics design, support, repair and installation for corporate and commercial aircraft, announced on Oct. 15, 2018, that the company has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Canadian avionics design firm Avionics Design Services Ltd. (ADS), a leading provider of aviation engineering and certification services.
The merger with Avionics Design Services, including its full team of experienced avionics design engineers, offers an exciting opportunity for MC2 to strengthen and expand its service offering in avionics system design and installation by providing its corporate and commercial customer base with a full range of integrated avionics system support.
MC2 president Bill Arsenault said: “Beyond the obvious fits from both technical and design skill standpoints, MC2 and ADS share a common corporate culture, with a focus on delivering the best tailored solutions for our broad range of customer needs.
“The addition of Robert (Bob) Gow, president of ADS, both as a shareholder and key part of our senior management team, adds depth and accelerates our plans for long-term growth. Bob will oversee all aspects of MC2 design services, adding greater direct value to all of our customer relationships.”
Bob Gow, founder and president of ADS, is delighted to become an integral part of MC2’s team and ongoing growth.
“We’ve worked very closely with MC2 for many years and have a longstanding relationship with Bill and the rest of the MC2 team,” said Gow.
“We’ve partnered with MC2 on projects and co-developed numerous leading edge STCs. Their focus on quality delivery aligns perfectly with our own long term objectives.”
Arsenault proudly reflected that, “This fusion of forces builds on the history, successes and cultures of both companies, and most importantly, provides our respective customers with a more efficient, integrated model that can react even more effectively to all of their avionics needs.”
