PITT MEADOWS – Maverick Aviation Group Limited has acquired Pitt Meadows-based avionics installation, repair and design engineering services firm Maxcraft Avionics Ltd.
Maxcraft’s client base includes operators for all types of aircraft including private, commercial, business, charter, corporate, airline, police, military, and air ambulance. Its state-of-the-art shop facilities provide full-service support to the private and commercial fixed wing market as well as the helicopter sector.
Maverick is a Canadian-owned aviation services group based in Edmonton focused on avionics, instrumentation, and non-destructive testing. Through its subsidiaries—Bristow Instruments Ltd., Vision Inspection Services Canada Inc., and now Maxcraft, Maverick supports private, commercial, and military aircraft operators.
Daryl Macintosh and Steve Nunn, two long-standing leaders at Maxcraft, will remain with the company and continue to oversee operations and customer service.
“This acquisition is not a departure from who we are—it’s a continuation,” says Nunn. “Partnering with Maverick gives us the ability to take Maxcraft to the next level—adding resources, expanding our capabilities, and ultimately delivering more value to our customers.”
Macintosh adds: “Our customers count on us for technical depth, compliance knowledge, and execution. That doesn’t change. We’re excited to continue serving our clients with the same hands-on approach, now backed by greater reach and long-term stability.”
Maxcraft’s facilities include 30,000-square-feet of hangar space, staffed by 45 team members—the majority of which are certified licensed technicians, engineers, and AME’s. The company services both rotary and fixed complex cockpit upgrades, customized installations, responsive field support, and specialized engineering solutions.
“For more than 35 years, Maxcraft has built its reputation on trust, technical depth, and personalized customer care,” states Trevor Rehberg-Besler, President of Maverick Aviation Group. “We’re committed to preserving everything customers value about Maxcraft—while bringing the added strength of a national platform and long-term investment in people, tools, and infrastructure.”
The acquisition strengthens Maverick’s presence in Western Canada and positions the combined group as an independent avionics and instrument service provider for customers throughout North America and across the globe.
