Hartzell Aviation is a new company with historic roots.
The new umbrella company includes Hartzell Propeller, Hartzell Aerospace Welding, and Hartzell Engine Tech.
“The independent operating companies and products under the Hartzell Aviation banner will carry on a strong and rich tradition, with a history dating back to the Wright Brothers when Orville encouraged his neighbor Robert N. Hartzell to begin manufacturing airplane propellers,” said James W. Brown III, who runs the company with his brother Joseph W. Brown.
The creation of Hartzell Aviation “reinforces the three organizations’ core competencies and their joint pursuit of improving general aviation,” company officials noted.
Hartzell Aviation’s flagship company is Hartzell Propeller, which manufactures propellers at its headquarters in Piqua, Ohio.
Hartzell Aerospace Welding, first established as Aerospace Welding Minneapolis, is involved in general aviation aircraft exhaust systems and engine mount repair, including welding, precision machining, and sheet metal fabrication. The company, which is based in Eagan, Minnesota, is expanding with the recent acquisition of Acorn Welding of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Hartzell Engine Tech, previously Hartzell Engine Technologies, offers engine accessories and heating solutions for the general aviation industry under the names Janitrol Aero, Fuelcraft, Plane-Power, Sky-Tec, and AeroForce Turbocharger Systems. This company is based in Montgomery, Alabama.
Hartzell Aviation’s new website is at HartzellAviation.com.
