Kit Pack Co

Headquartered in Las Cruces, NM, Kit Pack Co. (KPC) is a manufacturer of parts and overhaul and modification kits, primarily for government aircraft and other military vehicles. KPC is the oldest small business supplier of parts kits and overhaul kits to the DoD with roots extending back to 1961 when Tinker AFB (OCAMA) first broke out parts kits to small business firms.

The headquarters address is 285 E. Thorpe Rd. Las Cruces, NM. A total of 47,000 square feet of administration/manufacturing area, includes three 5,000 square foot warehouses, and an additional 4000 square feet of open production area. The property is considerably larger than needed for current operations, and will support significant growth in the future. The main building is a brick structure with original red and white oak wood floors, in excellent, near-new condition, and includes a production area, offices, welding stations and a paint booth.  The southern NM location is approximately 20 miles north of the Texas border, near the intersection of the I-10 and I-25 highways. The facility is located near White Sands Missile Range, a major DoD weapons testing facility, and Spaceport America, the world's first purpose-built commercial spaceport.

KPC has acted primarily as an Air Force contractor expert on aging aircraft including the C-130, F5, KC135, B52, B1, F15, F16, F18, Huey, F4 and their systems. Many of these systems to remain in service into the 2020-2040s. Along with the aging of these systems, through its long business history, KPC has responded to ongoing demand for these programs' refurbishing, upgrade, and general support needs. KPC produces kits for both system overhaul, and technology upgrades, as well as certain parts and components.  KPC's major programs over the last two decades have been primarily vehicle overhaul, gun turrets, and ammunition loading systems for the Army, related to the DoD's involvement in Army actions during this time. The Company will analyze any new opportunity or special project based on its ability to profitably source parts and materials, utilize its operational base, and its ability to finance the project, given the project's size and scope, compared to KPC's other planned production activities.
