Midsize Aircraft Benefit from Extex's Expanded Product
Line
No fewer than 15 new replacement components for auxiliary power units (APUs)
feature in the expanded product line of Extex Ltd, manufacturer
of PMA parts since 1995. The new aft diffuser housings, turbine
nozzles, fuel manifolds, airflow deflectors, gears, deswirl compressors
and guide vanes are now available for GTCP36-150RJ APUs found on
Bombardier and Embraer regional airliners. Extex says the reverse-engineered
parts, produced under FAA guidelines, can deliver cost savings of
up to 30%. According to president and CEO Larry Shiembob, "Our
customers find that, in many cases, Extex parts are higher quality
than OEM parts because we make improvements to our parts during
the design process."
