Superior Air Parts Names CFO Kent Abercrombie as CEO After 25 Years With the Company
Why It MattersThe promotion of a long-tenured insider keeps leadership continuity at a PMA supplier that competes with original manufacturers in the general aviation piston engine replacement parts market.
Superior Air Parts has appointed Kent Abercrombie, its longtime Chief Financial Officer, as Chief Executive Officer. Abercrombie has spent more than 25 years at the Texas-based manufacturer, working across finance, sales and operations. The company has supplied replacement parts to the general aviation piston engine market since 1967.
"Providing a choice has been at the heart of Superior since 1967," Abercrombie said. He added that he is committed to supporting the company's employees and continuing to earn the confidence of its customers and distributors.
Based in Coppell, Texas, Superior produces FAA-approved Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) replacement components for Lycoming and Continental piston engines. Its product range includes Millennium Cylinders. As CEO, Abercrombie will oversee business strategy and operations, with stated priorities of manufacturing quality, customer relationships and sustainable growth.
