HARTZELL ENGINE TECHNOLOGIES PURCHASES THE JASCO ALTERNATOR LINE FORMERLY HELD BY SKYTRONICS, INC.

Mike Disbrow, president of Hartzell Engine Technologies LLC, announces that the company has purchased the Jasco Alternator line formerly held by Skytronics Incorporated.

“Our strategy is to grow each of our current product lines ­— alternators, starters, turbochargers, cabin heaters, and fuel pumps — both organically and through strategic acquisition,” Disbrow says. “The Jasco Alternator line will enable us to begin offering high-quality products to new segments of the general aviation markets including classic and agricultural aircraft and piston helicopters. It is the perfect complement to our current family of alternators.”

Available in both 12- and 24-volt systems, and with 50- or 70-amp output, the lighter-weight Jasco Alternators have become the go-to replacement alternators for old pad-mounted generators found on radial engines, as well as, on standard opposing piston engines used on many classic aircraft and piston helicopters.

“The reason Jasco Alternators have been around for nearly 50-years is that they provide great performance and reliability at a reasonable cost,” Disbrow adds. “Once we have certifications in place we’ll assimilate production of the Jasco alternator line into our Montgomery, Alabama facility.”
