Aero Accessories acquires sparkplug line

By Janice Wood · January 6, 2010 ·

Aero Accessories, Inc., the manufacturer of Tempest brand aviation products, has acquired Unison Industries’ aviation sparkplug product line, which was marketed  under the Autolite brand.

Aero will relocate the sparkplug product line to its manufacturing facility in Gibsonville, N.C., according to company officials, who note the product line will be branded and marketed under the Tempest name. Aero anticipates delivering the first Tempest brand sparkplugs in early March.

“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, vice president of marketing and sales.
