EASTFORD, Conn., March 3, 2020 – Continuing its expansion, Whitcraft, has acquired the stock of TECT Power.

TECT Power is a leading provider of complex rotating and structural airfoil components for turbine engines used in commercial aerospace, business jet, defense and industrial markets. It has operations in Cleveland, Ohio, Thomasville, Georgia, Utica, New York, and Santa Fe Springs, California. The purchase price was not disclosed. Whitcraft will maintain several members of the TECT Power executive team including Rob Cohen the prior CEO who will be leading business development and other support functions for Whitcraft. TECT Power will be re-branded under the Whitcraft name.

The acquisition of TECT Power is the fifth completed by Whitcraft over the last 12 months, bringing its total employment to more than 1,800 people across 11 states. The company had about 235 employees in 2006.

“This acquisition of TECT Power expands Whitcraft’s capabilities as a full-service partner to our OEM and Tier One customers,” said Doug Folsom, Whitcraft Chief Executive Officer. “Specifically, it broadens and horizontally integrates the capability of our Company into complex rotating and structural airfoil components for aircraft engines.”

“We are thrilled to have Rob and the TECT Power team join us in our mission to be the best manufacturer of aircraft engine components through an unprecedented focus on continuous improvement,” Folsom added.
