StarterGenerator.com goes green

By Janice Wood · April 20, 2011 ·

StarterGenerator.com has expanded its starter generator LRU inventory from multiple aftermarket purchases. The company is a buyer and recycler of light turbine fixed wing and helicopter starter generators for civil aircraft, manufactured by companies including Goodrich (Lear Siegler, Lucas, TRW), Aircraft Parts Corp. (APC), Thales AES (Auxilec) and others.

Whether buying or selling, StarterGenerator.com acts as a global conduit through which starter generators of all makes and models flow back and forth between buyers and sellers, according to company officials. Sources include OEMs, MROs, distributors, FBOs and aircraft operators. Long lead times and rising prices for new units have made recycling of excess material a compelling option, officials note.

“With a significant installed base of units circulating in a perpetual state of change, the aftermarket has proven to be a consistent and reliable source to complement our supply options,” explained Garrett Schwarz, president of StarterGenerator.com. “We are seeing a lot of consolidation of companies and operations as the aftermarket naturally digests a period of strong growth over the past decade. These dynamics present buying opportunities as companies refocus and eliminate redundant inventory. We are delighted to help our customers convert their unwanted excess into usable cash to deploy towards future growth initiatives. Additionally, recycling starter generators allows us to serve our growing list of customers that desire value priced fresh-tagged overhauled-certified solutions from stock.”
