COVER STORY

" This acquisition allowed PrimeFlight
to not only support the rapid growth of
its fueling operations, but added manufacturing capabilities for projects such as
PrimeFlightUV, " Bosserman says.
In addition to acquiring US-based ProFlo
Industries, PrimeFlight also has a majority
stake in ProFlo LATAM, based in Colombia
and within the South American Free Trade
Zone. ProFlo LATAM started in 2016 as
an expansion project of ProFlo Industries
in Latin America, and they support manufacturing projects exported to Africa, Asia,
East Europe and Latin America.
" Their team of 14 full-time engineers,
including mechanical, electrical, electronic
and 3D design, as well as their QC manager
with more than 30 years of experience in
automation and assembly line productions, paired with their 75 highly qualified technicians, including electricians,
mechanics and certified welders, have been
instrumental in the design and roll out of

PrimeFlightUV, " says Bosserman. " With a
nimble team and in-house production of
these units, we are able to offer customizable designs to meet specific airport and
aviation requirements. "
More units are in transit to the United
States from the ProFlo LATAM facility.
Initial feedback has been positive,
according to Bosserman. He says the company has worked with its operations team
and several customers to continue to refine
the original wheelchair disinfection unit,
in particular.
" In the early design stages, we added several safety features, including a deadman
control and reverse capability to ensure our
designs meet the needs of our industry, "
he says. " We have tested our wheelchair
disinfection unit at several hub airports
to ensure it can be seamlessly integrated
into operations, and as we received positive feedback, we began to roll them out to
additional airports. "

The company's portable
wheelchair disinfection
unit is currently in use at
several airports across
the U.S., and the TSA
is currently testing
PrimeFlight's security bin disinfection
units at DCA.
Additional prototypes are in development for aircraft cabin,
galley cart, baggage,
cargo and equipment
disinfection.
" We are proud to have
put the first designs of
their kind in use so
quickly after the introduction of COVID-19, "
Bosserman says. " As a service company, we are
proud to be able to tailor UV-C disinfection
solutions to our industry. "
