The founding partners wanted to build a business that catered to the airlines and focused on repairing parts that were costly to replace. The formula was very basic—keep our overhead low, provide the customer with a quality service at a fair price, in a quick and timely manner! TACOR was established in 1993 and received our Air Agency Certificate in April of 1994.
TACOR began working closely with engineers and metallurgists to develop repairs that previously did not exist. The strategy worked, and we soon became the source for creative solutions to expensive component maintenance. We had created a business that quickly earned a reputation for saving the airlines hundreds of thousands of dollars in maintenance costs by salvaging parts that were otherwise headed for the scrap heap.
Developed a repair to increase strength and durability of Boeing 757 magnesium thrust reverser cascade vanes. The repair is written into Delta Air Line’s Maintenance Manuals. Opens the door for work at major airlines across the country.
Partnered with then Sundstrand Aerospace to develop a new method for cleaning and testing a fuel flow restrictor used on an Embraer Brasilia and deHavilland Dash 8 aircraft Auxiliary Power Unit. The method is still used today.
The company held over 40 DER Process Specifications that it had developed with the aid of FAA Designated Engineering Representatives. Some were as simple as wheel dust covers (hub caps) while some were much more complex, like the aforementioned magnesium cascade vanes. Estimated savings for TACOR customers on these items exceeds $1,000,000 since opening.
Won bid to perform Service Bulletin modification to multiple bleed ducts on the Embraer ERJ family of aircraft. A new partnership was formed.
Developed a repair for a Canadair CRJ smoke detector cage that saved a US airline over $100,000 in one year.
With continued success and a budding reputation in the aviation community, TACOR purchased and moved into a new facility that allowed for continued growth and expansion. We were now able to operate out of a 10,000 sq. ft. building that incorporates our capabilities in a much more efficient manner. The new shop allowed for dedicated space for each function of our business and streamlined the flow of our work processes.
Worked with EMBRAER to develop a repair process for excessive wear on the EMB 145 series of aircraft flap tracks. This created a savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars for operators worldwide.
