ADVENT AEROSPACE| STEVE JOURDENAIS Strict control of the engineering and manufacturing workflows ensures an accurate, state-of-the-art product Steve Jourdenais targets set that were a little higher than Mike and I had been setting for ourselves and we had to go out and get them, so that was a signifi cant impetus to growth,” he adds. In the nine years since the company became part of Yankee Pacifi c, Jormac has steadily expanded and is now housed in a 48,500 sq ft manufacturing facility in Largo, Florida. Yankee Pacifi c has since changed its name to Advent Aerospace and Jourdenais is leading Jormac and its sister company, Cabin Innovations, in new directions within the aircraft interiors market. One of the keys to Jormac’s success, Jourdenais says, is that growing a vast enterprise was never the focus. “Our attention and primary goal was always the wellbeing of the people in the company as well as our customers. If you make sure your people are happy and feel valued, then the product going out the door will be to the high quality standards that you are setting for yourself and the customer is the benefi ciary. You cannot get consistent high quality without people feeling good about the jobs and what they are doing. This transcends anything that you set by way of growth goals for your operation. It is what gets me up in the morning and keeps me wanting to be a part of business aviation,” he comments. As president of Advent Aerospace, Jourdenais now has the task of growing a family of companies, rather than just one. “Cabin Innovations in Lewisville, Texas, is Jormac’s sister division that specialises in turnkey VIP galleys. And like Jormac, Cabin Innovations is a leader in its chosen specialty,” he says. Defi ning the direction of Advent Aerospace, Jourdenais explains, “We are taking the proven processes and procedures that gave Jormac staying power over the past 20 years and adapting them to Cabin’s operation. Likewise, Jormac is learning a few tricks from Cabin Innovations. Strict control of the engineering and manufacturing workfl ows ensure an accurate, state-of-the-art product. Vigilant programme management keeps the customer informed and the project on schedule. Combining talents across Jormac and Cabin as team members rather than separate companies maximises the value to the customer.” Over their histories, Jormac and Cabin Innovations have touched and had a hand in a great many completions projects. Jourdenais estimates that by itself, Jormac has been involved with at least 90 BBJ completions. “These aircraft are some of the fi nest engineering and design achievements mankind has ever produced. These aircraft are truly lovely things and it is an honour to be a part of what man can do with an aircraft. There are a lot of people in this industry that love to do things to a level and standard that has never been done before till this moment and that is constantly inspiring,” he concludes. 30 International | Autumn 2015
