Camarillo aerospace logistics company Merex Holding Corp. has acquired ALCO Services Inc., a provider of maintenance, repair and overhaul services for older aircraft. Financial details of the deal announced Thursday between Merex and ALCO, headquartered in Livermore, Calif., were not disclosed.

ALCO supports legacy military aircraft including the Lockheed Martin C-130 transport plane, and the Boeing F-18 fighter jet, and commercial aircraft including Boeing’s 737, 757 and 767. Merex provides spare parts and components, and repair and overhaul services for aging aircraft operated by more than 35 armed forces worldwide.
