What Avcorp Industries does

Avcorp Industries Inc. was a Canadian aerospace aerostructure manufacturer headquartered in Delta, British Columbia, operating from a facility with a 65-year track record of supplying major airframe structures to aircraft manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers. Its product portfolio centered on complex structural components for commercial, defense, and business jet platforms, including Boeing 737 wheel well fairings, wing spoilers, and attendant partition panels; Boeing 767 flap track fairings and panoramic fairings; Boeing 777X lower wing panels; Boeing KC-135 ruddevator; Boeing CH-47 tunnel covers; Bombardier Challenger 650 fuel tanks and horizontal stabilizers; Bombardier Global 5500/6500 overwing exit doors; and Lockheed Martin / BAE Systems F-35 outboard wing assemblies.

The company operated a vertically integrated manufacturing footprint spanning design engineering, in-house tool design, metal treatment and finishing, metal bonding, sheet metal and detail-part fabrication, precision machining, assembly and systems integration, and non-destructive testing (NDI). This stack allowed Avcorp to deliver complete aerostructure solutions under direct program-management oversight rather than relying on sub-tier outsourcing for critical process steps. Its business model was B2B contract manufacturing, with quote-based pricing on long-cycle, program-of-record aerostructure supply agreements to a small set of major OEM customers across commercial aviation, defense, and business jet end markets.

In November 2022, French Tier 1 aerospace supplier Latecoere completed the acquisition of Avcorp Industries Inc., and the Delta facility was rebranded as Latecoere Aerostructures Canada. Since the transaction, Avcorp has not operated as an independent entity; its customer base, capabilities, and active programs have been integrated into Latecoere's broader Aerostructures division alongside Doors, Fuselages, and Wing & Empennage product lines.
