Cherokee Nation Industries acquires aerospace company,
STILWELL, Okla.—Stilwell, Okla. based Cherokee Nation Industries, a wholly-owned company of the Cherokee Nation, closed Monday on the acquisition of Red Wing Products, Inc., based in Kellyville, Okla. Red Wing Products, Inc., has manufactured and assembled electronic airplane parts for the Department of Defense and the aerospace industry for 34 years.
Cherokee Nation Industries possesses a growing aerospace and defense unit, which is outgrowing its space and capacity at the company’s Stilwell facility. That growth has created a considerable need for space, an expanded workforce and value added integration capabilities.
“Red Wing currently produces many similar products in the same sector as Cherokee Nation Industries, making it an attractive fit to CNI’s portfolio of businesses,” said Bryan Collins, CEO of Cherokee Nation Industries. “It gives CNI new capabilities with its machine shop, more production space and an already trained workforce, but also many new opportunities into some areas that CNI has not yet penetrated.”
The Red Wing acquisition adds 30,000 square feet of space, and approximately 30 employees. Red Wing has nearly 35 years of experience in the aerospace businesses, assembling electronic airplane parts such as wiring, cabling, harnesses, kitting, machined and fabricated electro/mechanical parts and more. Cherokee Nation Industries boasts 40 years of experience in the electrical components field, manufacturing many of the same, or similar, products.
“This is really a perfect fit for our company,” Collins said. “Many of Red Wing’s clients have also been long time customers and business associates of Cherokee Nation Industries and we look forward to continuing those relationships.”
“We are confident the Red Wing acquisition will help continue the growth in our aerospace business sector,” Collins said. “Red Wing has been known for many years for its quality products. With the leadership of CNI and the resourcefulness of the Cherokee Nation, Red Wing will have the support necessary to continue that commitment to their customers in the aerospace community.”
Going forward, the company will be known as Cherokee Nation Red Wing, Collins said, to leverage the strength and reputation of both Cherokee Nation’s name, as well as Red Wing’s.
CNI was established in 1969 to serve as the economic and workforce arm for the Cherokee Nation. The tribal enterprise specializes in aerospace and defense manufacturing, telecommunications, construction, distribution and personnel services.
