Blackhawk Group

What Blackhawk Group does

BlackHawk Group, LLC, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Holbrook, NY, is a privately held technology integration and equipment servicing firm. Its core business is professional audio-visual (AV) installation and ongoing maintenance for the education and business sectors, with named customers including Adelphi University, Farmingdale State College, Neighborhood Charter, and 89X. Service offerings span classroom AV installations (projectors, interactive whiteboards, display boards), auditorium and PA systems, cafeteria and gymnasium installations (including custom work such as hanging 75-inch interactive panels from basketball backboards and 25-foot dropdown screens), network wiring, and preventative maintenance contracts. The firm holds approved-vendor status with the NYC Department of Education (Vendor #: BLA303972), New York State (Vendor ID #: 1100113864), and NYCSCA, and operates a direct-to-customer sales motion centered on phone, email, and website inquiry.

The company is undergoing a strategic transformation. In October 2024, Blackhawk launched an enterprise-wide aftermarket parts and avionics e-commerce platform targeting aviation professionals with FAA-compliant and PMA-certified parts, and on 2025-01-06 it acquired Glendale Aero Services' Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) business. These moves represent a deliberate pivot from a regional education-services firm into a dual-vertical operation spanning AV installation and aviation services. Under president and founder Michael Mignone, the firm has built a partner ecosystem of AV OEMs and distributors (TriumphBoard, BenQ, Troxell CDI, PHI Services, CharterTS, KrystalGWB) supporting nationwide service delivery. Revenue mechanics remain undisclosed but consist of project-based installation engagements supplemented by recurring maintenance service contracts.
