SDI Aviation

SDI AVIATION designs, manufactures, distributes and supports

the SUPERIOR® line of aviation ground support equipment (GSE). SUPERIOR®, a well-known brand name associated with GSE – and more specifically aircraft ground deicers - was purchased by privately held Nackawic Mechanical Ltd. (NML) in August of 1992. The intellectual property and physical assets of the

former U.S. company were transferred to NML's modern manufacturing facility at Nackawic, New Brunswick, Canada.

Founded in 1973 by journeyman machinist David A. Young, NML has long been a leader in the structural steel fabrication; material handling and transportation industries. Serving the pulp & paper; mining and aggregate industries throughout North America, NML has earned an excellent reputation for its superb

workmanship and dedicated customer service. While the manufacturing of aviation equipment has, in recent years, become its core activity NML continues to serve the needs of the aforementioned industries. NML's diversity has allowed it to remain strong during often difficult, industry-specific periods.

Since 1992, SDI AVIATION has manufactured in excess of 150 deicer units. And, we continue to support the more than 400 deicers built by our predecessors. Now in its fifteenth year of manufacturing ground support equipment, SDI AVIATION has built a customer base that spans the globe. We continuously strive to improve our product line with innovative features that provide the industry with reliable, efficient and affordable GSE. Customers include major and regional airlines; ground services providers; aircraft manufactures; couriers; FBO's and airport authorities. Military customers include the United States Army,

United States Air National Guard and the UK Royal Air Force.
