Continental Aerospace Technologies™ Commemorates 120 Years of Powering Legacies Forward

Continental Aerospace Technologies™ celebrates a historical milestone as the company marks its 120th anniversary. Founded in 1905 in Muskegon, MI, Continental® has consistently delivered high-performing engines. While honoring its rich legacy, the company continues to drive aviation forward through cutting-edge innovation, advanced tools, and sustainable technologies.

From its pioneering role in early aviation to becoming a leading provider of AvGas and Jet-A piston engines, Continental® continues to set industry standards and provide new offerings. With over a century of proven success, Continental® continues to introduce new advanced solutions to support pilots, owners and mechanics in the flying journey. 

The company also celebrates reaching 12 million Jet-A flight hours, as well as the launch of a new website and enhanced factory-training programs and tools, reinforcing the company's ongoing dedication to excellence and innovation in the aviation industry.

“Reaching our 120th anniversary is a testament to the resilience and drive of Continental and the passion of those who have been part of this journey,” says Karen Hong, president and CEO of Continental Aerospace Technologies. “For us, it’s all about ‘Powering Legacies Forward.’ This reflects our commitment to building upon the foundational work of our past while advancing toward the future. We take great pride in the history we have created and are excited about the advancements on the horizon.”
