Where We Come From

TACOR was established in 1993 and received our Air Agency Certificate in April of 1994. The founding partners wanted to build a business that catered to the airlines and focused on repairing parts that were costly to replace. The formula was very basic---keep our overhead low, provide the customer with a quality service at a fair price, in a quick and timely manner! We created a business that earned a reputation for saving the airlines hundreds of thousands of dollars in maintenance costs by salvaging parts that were, otherwise, headed for the scrap heap. TACOR worked closely with engineers and metallurgists to develop repairs that previously did not exist. The strategy worked and we soon became the source for creative solutions to expensive component maintenance.

Originally located in Pryor, Oklahoma, TACOR relocated to the Dallas/Ft Worth area in 2002 after the events of 9/11 forever changed the face of our business. The organization's ownership converted to new leadership and management with a revised business plan. Now, more than ever, was the time to exercise cost cutting measures. Basically, we kept our reputation but started over with a new location, new employees and a new focus.

In 2008 TACOR purchased and moved into a new facility that allowed for continued growth and expansion. We operate out of a 10,000 sq. ft. building that incorporates our capabilities in a much more efficient manner. TACOR offers a variety of services including both fusion (GTAW) and resistance (spot) welding, NDT liquid dye penetrant inspection, tooling and fixture manufacturing, sheet metal fabrication, and several clean, test and inspect programs. Please refer to our What We Do page for more detailed information on how we may be of assistance to you.

TACOR's staff includes welders, NDT Level II inspectors and certified A&P mechanics. Collectively, we have over 100 years of aviation experience, 60+ years of welding experience and 45+ years of aircraft mechanical experience. Our capabilities are not just limited to airframe components. We also work with Ground Support Equipment, engine stands, and hangar equipment. We have even built mobile aircraft jacks.
