If someone is willing to spend $65 million on a private
jet, chances are he will want the absolute finest fit and
finish throughout the aircraft, down to the seat buckles
and ashtrays.
And that's where HighTech Finishing in Houston comes in.
Want a gold-plated sink for your Gulfstream G650, the
aforementioned $65M corporate toy? Maybe you need
refurbished seatbelts for your Learjet 85, which costs a cool
$18 million?
Then head to Houston and see HighTech's CEO Carl
Bartuch, President Lee Whitley or VP of Sales and Marketing
Rick Niefield. Chances are, they'll give you a good price that
won't break your budget … assuming there was a budget to
begin with.
"These aircrafts are truly luxurious and have the best
of the best," says Niefield, who has more than 23 years
of corporate aviation industry experience. "But that puts
added pressure on us to deliver a world-class finish to these
customers. They won't settle for anything less."
