STILLWATER, Oklahoma - <\/p>\n
It seems 2014 will be a big year for an Oklahoma aerospace company. <\/p>\n
ASCO Aerospace recently celebrated its first sale of parts manufactured in Stillwater. <\/p>\n
And it's just the beginning of more deals and jobs to come. <\/p>\n
Since taking over the former manufacturing facility for Mercruiser on Perkins Road in Stillwater, Belgium-based ASCO Aerospace has worked to bring in equipment and get the massive facility configured for its needs. <\/p>\n
They've reached the point for the business to take off. <\/p>\n
\"We're making everything new, new machines,\" plant director Jean Pierre Gielen said. \"We'll start from scratch again, and move that into Stillwater in order to be successful in Stillwater.\" <\/p>\n
ASCO makes steel tracks which are part of the mechanisms on 737s that enable wing flaps to lower. They also make aluminum structural parts for airplanes. <\/p>\n
The Stillwater facilities first deal was finalized with Spirit Aerosystems, and now ASCO is ramping up production and hiring. <\/p>\n
\"We're buying equipment,\" Gielen said. \"We're laying out the building. We're setting up the building and now we're moving into assembly.\" <\/p>\n
