Satair, an Airbus company, has completed its acquisition of Unical Aviation Inc. and its subsidiary ecube, according to a company announcement.
The deal, first announced in November 2025, adds Unical’s expertise in used serviceable material (USM) for aircraft parts and components, along with ecube’s services in aircraft storage, disassembly, and transitions. Unical and ecube operated seven sites across North America, Spain, and the United Kingdom, generating combined revenue of $298 million in 2024 with 413 employees.
Previously owned by Platinum Equity since 2021, Unical underwent operational changes including technology upgrades, leadership enhancements, inventory diversification, and acquisitions such as ecube. The transaction received customary regulatory approvals and closed in early 2026 as anticipated.
Unical, founded in 1990 and based in Glendale, Arizona, supplied parts to customers worldwide. Financial advisors Houlihan Lokey represented the sellers, with Reed Smith providing legal counsel to Platinum Equity.
