CRS Jet Spares is proudly celebrating it’s 40th year anniversary!

CRS Jet Spares is proudly celebrating it’s 40th year providing superior service and parts to the worldwide business jet community.

The company held an event, the first of several planned over the remainder of the year, to thank and celebrate the team members, vendors and most of all valued customers who have helped CRS build its reputation as the go to provider of high-quality, cost-effective timely solutions.

“When we acquired CRS, we did so as stewards of a company, armed with the knowledge and confidence that the history of service was well earned,” said CEO Milan Cvejic. “As we’ve operated the company over the last two years, the experience of our committed and passionate staff has allowed us to both learn and build on the brand through investment in technology, people and most of all our industry leading inventory, which now stands at well over 50,000 parts in our Florida warehouse. We could not be prouder to celebrate the last 40 years while we look forward to many, many more.”

 

Over the coming weeks, CRS will share some of the great moments from the Florida celebration, along with details on events that will be held with vendors and customers in other key markets around the country.

An AOG Situation Calls For an “Any Means Necessary” Attitude

At CRS, where our team is live and available to help you 24/7/365, we’ll ship anywhere in the world to keep you flying. And if a truck or plane isn’t the fastest way to get you back in the air, we can also do it on two wheels!

CRS Senior Sales Consultant Bill Short not only answered the call when Privaira hit the CRS AOG hotline with an urgent need for a generator to get a charter flight off the ground, he jumped on his bike and delivered door-to-door.

Privaira’s Dave Prince was all smiles when Bill rolled up with the box on the back of the bike, providing the part that kept them from losing their charter.

The CRS warehouse in Fort Lauderdale is within 30 minutes of three international airports. We transport for AOG situations via Sterling, DHL, UPS, FedEx and, as Bill demonstrated in this situation, door-to-door.

We never charge AOG service fees, and we are ALWAYS LIVE. A CRS representative will answer your call. With CRS, you never have to leave your urgent situation to voice mail.

Congrats to Bill on finding a way to keep our CRS customers flying!

CRS Looks to Add Lear Inventory

On the heels of a successful part out and distribution of a Lear 60, CRS is committed to serving our valued clients operating the Lear airframe. We continue to be interested in plane acquisitions for full part out, and as we explore those opportunities, we are looking to acquire a variety of parts.   If you have inventory or spares you are looking to move, please contact us about any of the parts in the list below. We’re comfortable with parts in need of overhaul and repair, or those that are ready to be bolted on the aircraft. And if you have something that isn’t on our list, chances are we’re interested in that, too!

THE 103 SOLVES PROBLEMS TO EXTEND LIFE OF GENERATOR – CRS Has a Program to Make it Work for You and Your Challenger

At CRS, our veteran team has the expertise to provide you with options related to your business jet part needs. That experience and knowledge often leads to recommendations built on interactions with hundreds of clients and manufacturers, such as the Bombardier Challenger 300/350 generator and the introduction of the upgraded A3579-103 (103) model as a replacement for the A3579-102 (102.)The 102 has served the Challenger community well but has shown its age to the point that the 103 has been introduced. While the 102 can still be effective, we have noticed generator early removals at 1100 hours since last overhaul. The 103 demonstrates clear improvements:

New Shaft
• New material and shear section to improve the shaft fatigue
• Shaft painted for corrosion protection
New Rear Flange Assembly
• Sliding guides replaced by screws
• Addition of a Borrelly washer to preload the bearing

So what do you do if you still have hours on your A3579-102 but want the added security offered by the A3579-103? CRS has an upgrade plan offering both short and life – of – the -product solutions – including non-like core exchange – to ensure you have the security, safety and performance of the latest product without breaking the bank.

CRS JET SPARES POISED TO BUILD ON HISTORY OF SERVICE TO GLOBAL JET COMMUNITY UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP

Group Injecting Financial and Intellectual Capital into Longtime Industry Leader; Advanced Technology, Inventory and Sales Force Key Areas of Focus

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – New ownership has been introduced to build on nearly four decades of leadership in the business jet part and repaired solutions industry at CRS Jet Spares. The new group joined first as operating partners and now, with the closing of the deal, are leading the organization.

The new ownership team is committed to building on the unique and successful heritage of CRS and is injecting new capital – financial and intellectual – to update and evolve available inventory, build on partnerships and integrate leading edge technology. The new ownership group cited the expertise of the CRS sales and operations team, which combined has more than 150 years of business jet industry experience, as a primary factor in the acquisition.

The first step in the evolution is the implementation of a new strategic plan geared towards realizing the CRS Vision:

To be the trusted, go-to parts, repair and solutions provider in the global business jet community.

 Milan Cvejic is an investor in CRS and serves as its CEO. Cvejic is the founder of The SINA Group, a private investment firm. An expert in investment strategy, buyouts, business development, and mergers and acquisitions, Cvejic led business services origination efforts at The Gores Group, a private equity firm that managed over $3 Billion in capital. He has a broad knowledge base across industry sectors including Technology, IT Services, Distribution Logistics & Supply Chain, and Industrial Services.

“The CRS team and its unwaverinig focus on providing solutions for each and every customer is what attracted us from an investment perspective,” said Cvejic. “Working with our team and surveying the industry, we’ve built a strategic plan that is both true to the tremendous history of the company and also very much forward-thinking.”

Investor and operating entrepreneur Andrew Sherrill is the principal owner of CRS and brings an extensive track record of growth to the company. The former CEO and Chairman of Capsa Healthcare, Sherrill was one of the founding members of the company as part of a private equity structure and led Capsa through incremental growth including six acquisitions. One of the companies that became Capsa was Modern Metals Industries (MMI), where he served as Executive Vice President. MMI, in addition to pioneering the medical cart industry, was a key manufacturing provider for the aviation and aerospace industries. Through the introduction of processes, product innovation, technology and enhanced infrastructure, Sherrill helped position Capsa as the recognized industry leader in medical carts and cart technology.

“I see many similarities in CRS and Capsa, as both had a great foundation and history with signifcant opportunity for market share growth – both organic and through acquistion,” said Sherrill. “The team and that history provide confidence in the future of CRS, and we are committed to building on our invetory and offering through aircraft acquisition, partnerships, and evolved sales channels.”

CRS is a data-driven, mission and values oriented company with a focus on customer and vendor relationships. The goals established by the new ownership team involve strategic initiatives and investment in People, Technology and Inventory.

CRS has been a leader in several part and service categories throughout its history, and today is both building on existing strengths and also addressing areas where improvement can lead to Best in Class status. CRS’ 24-hour, 365-days a year staffed A.O.G. hotline, flexible pricing and packaging, and extensive warranty programs are all considered above industry standard, while the company offers solutions for a wide range of platforms including Gulfstream, Challenger, Falcon, Hawker, Lear, Beechjet, Astra, and Global Express.
