By General Aviation News Staff · April 9, 2026 · 1 Comment

PK Floats President Josh Michaud.

Leadership at PK Floats has transitioned, with long-time owner Patrick McGowen retiring, selling the company to Josh Michaud, who has taken over as president.

Michaud brings a background in sales, manufacturing, and business development to the Lincoln, Maine-based company.

“He has worked closely with manufacturers across the aerospace, defense, medical, and automotive industries, building a reputation for improving processes and delivering practical innovation for companies ranging from local shops to large global organizations,” company officials said.

“As a Maine native and a private pilot, Josh brings a personal connection to aviation and a clear understanding of the performance and reliability customers expect from PK Floats,” they added.
