Igal Zamir, President and CEO of TAT Technologies, participated in a fireside Q&A at Planet MicroCap Las Vegas in June 2026, moderated by Eugene Robin of Wasatch Global. During the discussion, Zamir described the company’s recent performance, stating that TAT has been “breaking our own records almost every quarter over the last three years” in terms of revenue, profitability, profit margin, and EBITDA. He noted that the company’s backlog has grown from roughly $180–200 million three and a half years ago to $580 million as of the last earnings call, with additional deals announced since then. Zamir also discussed TAT’s operational strategy, particularly its inventory approach. He said the company holds approximately $80 million in inventory, including about $50 million in auxiliary power unit (APU) parts, which he characterized as a strategic advantage that allows TAT to begin repairs the day after receiving an engine and return it within 35 to 60 days, compared to competitors who may take six to twelve months. He attributed the company’s roughly 20% annual growth—versus an industry growth rate of 4–6%—to this speed and to expanding customer relationships, noting that several customers now generate tens of millions of dollars in business across multiple product lines. Zamir stated he welcomes competition and focuses on providing added value to customers to protect against price pressure and vendor replacement.
