Camtronics was founded in 1999 by David Campbell and his son Rick Campbell. The Campbell family is retaining ownership in the business. David Campbell will remain with the business as Vice President and General Manager.

David Campbell commented, "Rick and I, along with our entire Camtronics team, have endeavored to provide the aviation industry with the opportunity to use innovative repairs rather than buying new and expensive replacement parts. Due to our similar cultures, HEICO Parts and Repair Group is our ideal partner for their technical expertise and market reach that will compound our growth. We are excited to become part of the HEICO family as we grow our organization and provide greater opportunities to our customers and team members."
