    Palm City, Florida -- STS Component Solutions and Ancra International announce the emergence of a Distribution Agreement to provide Power Drive Units (PDUs) to Commercial Aircraft and Freighters that are used on Boeing 767 -200/300/400 and Boeing 777 -200/300 Aircraft. Ancra International develops and manufactures Power Drive Units designed as drop-in replacements for original equipment. These aftermarket PDUs do not require any modification to the aircraft structural or electrical connections. Ancra’s Flexible Designs allow operators the ability to quickly arrange PDU configurations at a moment’s notice. The PDU feature a sophisticated control system to detect soft and hard pallet characteristics for optimized traction and reliability.

    For over 40 years Ancra International has become a well-known designer and manufacturer of these self-lifting, low-profile units that weigh less than 9 pounds, resulting in a lower cost alternative to other in service PDUs.

    Tom Covella, Group President of STS Component Solutions, states, “We are very excited about this new OEM partnership and product line as it further complements our OEM portfolio and product offerings. Our extensive background in aftermarket distribution and our ability to partner with a “World Class” organization like Ancra International represents a great opportunity for STS to further provide our customers with products and Solutions To Keep You Flying. We look forward to the expansion of our product line to include Ancra International and to explore other ways that this partnership will provide cost savings opportunities to our customers.”
