Our Proud History

Leading the Canadian Avionics Business for More Than 40 Years

MC2 was first established in 1996 by the late Barry Aylward and current company president, Bill Arsenault. Our business roots go back more than 40 years in Waterloo, Canada with our former Kitchener Aero facility. We never compromise quality or effectiveness for time or cost. We will work efficiently on your aircraft; every minute of down-time counts. We deliver reliable avionics installations on time and on budget. Our two organizations amalgamated in 2017, and continue to provide a wide variety of aircraft avionics services for business, commercial and special mission aircraft operators. In late 2018, MC2 acquired the then Avionics Design Services (ADS), a Transport Canada Design Approval Organization, including its full team of experienced avionics design engineers and Transport Canada Delegates. This growth offers an exciting opportunity for MC2 to strengthen and expand its service offerings in avionics system design and installation by providing its corporate and commercial clients with a full range of integrated avionics system support. We continue to focus on single and multi-engine, business jets and large aircraft from general aviation to corporate and commercial operators.

Since inception, MC2 has grown to become one of Canada’s premier avionics maintenance and modification facilities. When we established our firm, we put an emphasis on relationship building, to grow customers into long-term clients. We have grown one client at a time,
