Sparkplug Manufacturing To Move To North Carolina
Aero Accessories, which make the
Tempest brand aviation products, has acquired Unison Industries
aviation sparkplug product line. Unison previously marketed
this sparkplug line under the Autolite brand.
The company said Tuesday in a news release it will relocate the
sparkplug product line to its manufacturing facility in
Gibsonville, NC. The product line will be branded and
marketed under the popular Tempest name. Aero anticipates
delivering the first Tempest brand sparkplugs in early March
although specific details are not yet available and will be
forthcoming.
"The acquisition of the Unison's aviation sparkplug line is a great
addition to our existing line of aviation products. We feel
adding this product line is important not only to our company's
strategic plan, but to the general aviation industry as well,"
stated John Herman, Tempest's Vice President of Marketing and
Sales. Herman added "Tempest will offer the aviation consumer
competitive sparkplugs manufactured to the same high quality
standards that have made Tempest oil filters, dry air pumps,
carburetors, and other related engine components industry
leaders."
The Tempest brand includes pneumatic, filtration, and fuel
systems, including a complete line of OEM carburetors and fuel
pumps, ignition components, oil and pneumatic filtration products,
and specialty tools. The manufacturing facilities are located
in Gibsonville, NC, with sales and marketing offices located in
Greenville, SC and Atlanta, GA.
