MEET some of THE ROTOR-TECH California TEAM
HERMAN BEVELHIMER - Technical Operations Manager
My career in the aerospace industry started in 1981, when I was interviewed by Keith Harvey at CTI Dallas.I joined the CTI team and worked my way up through the various stages of repair and became lead technician in 1983. I was sent to various blade manufacturers; Aerospatiale in France, MBB in Germany, and Bell and Sikorsky in the USA. In late 1983 CTI began the process of opening a repair facility in Winnipeg, Canada and I was directed to go and assist in the setup process. This is where I first met Bruce Anning who was one of the first technicians hired at CTI Winnipeg. When I returned to
Dallas I was then promoted to Technical Director for all of the CTI facilities and did extensive travel to the helicopter manufacturers to ensure that we were current on blade repair techniques and any issues regarding blade defects. In 1992 I resigned from CTI and became co-founder of International Aviation Composites (IAC) in Irving, Texas. I was actively involved in the initial startup and building the customer base for IAC. In 1993 we invited Dana Kerrick to our team as Marketing Director. We began to grow very rapidly and were able to obtain manufacturer approval from Bell Helicopter, Sikorsky Aircraft, Schwiezer Aircraft, and MD Helicopter. In 2016, I began discussions with Bruce about joining the ACS Group to manage the Stockton, California facility. I agreed to join the team and began working as Technical Operations Manager in July 2016. I plan to bring my vast knowledge of rotor blade repair to the ACS Group and expand the current repair capabilities at the Stockton facility. I feel that with my knowledge in facility start up and managing production I will be able to make RTI the greatest rotor blade facility by improving turnaround times for blade repair and providing the highest quality of blade repair known to the industry.
