Jet Parts Engineering, a provider of PMA parts, DER repairs, and MRO services for aircraft in the aftermarket, is pleased to announce two strategic acquisitions: Cima Aviation, an MRO services provider specializing in fuel and hydraulic repairs; and Percival Aviation, an engineering, design and manufacturing operation for aircraft interiors components. The acquisitions further strengthen JPE’s mission to offer comprehensive aftermarket solutions to its global network of commercial, cargo, regional, and military aircraft customers.
Vance Street Capital originally invested in JPE in July 2018 and completed a single-asset a continuation fund in 2023 to support the Company’s organic growth initiatives and acquisition strategy. Under Vance Street’s ownership, the Company has increased its capacity and speed-to-completion of new part development with additional engineering resources, developed new repair capabilities, invested in cutting edge infrastructure and systems, continued to build out a talented management team and completed seven add-on acquisitions, including Cima and Percival.

The acquisition of Cima Aviation will allow JPE to deliver more value to its repair customers.
Percival Aviation, based in Fareham, Hampshire, UK, has been a trusted supplier in the aviation industry, specializing in aircraft interiors and associated equipment. The company has been undergoing a significant growth plan to expand its overseas presence, aiming to be the aviation industry’s supplier of choice for engineered interior solutions.
“The acquisitions mark another milestone in JPE’s strategic expansion, reinforcing its position as a leading provider of proprietary maintenance solutions in the aviation industry,” said Nic Janneck, Partner at Vance Street. “The partnership with Cima and Percival will allow JPE to deliver even greater value through expanded service offerings, reduced turnaround times, and enhanced technical support.”
