Becker Avionics to Establish U.S. Manufacturing Capabilities for Digital Audio and Intercom System

MIRAMAR, FL – Becker Avionics announces its plan to establish manufacturing capabilities for its Digital Audio and Intercom System DVCS 6100 at its North American subsidiary, Becker Avionics Inc., in Miramar, FL.

"The decision for establishing a US production line is monumental for the Becker Avionics Group, as we strengthen our presence in the US and take an important step towards becoming a fully recognized source for U.S. manufacturers and operators when it comes to avionics equipment," says Roland Becker, President and CEO of the Becker Avionics Group. "We are committed long-term to strengthening our U.S. presence as well as to serve the North and South American aviation markets more closely."

"Our staff was really thrilled when we made the decision to build up the production capability in the U.S.," says Markus Schmitz, President/General Manager of Becker Avionics Inc. "The local production capability will further strengthen our U.S. employee base, support maintaining our edge, and will bring significant economic activity to Becker Avionics Inc."

"The new production line will accelerate the transformation of Becker Avionics Inc., help us to ensure that we serve the American aviation markets more closely, and, of course, will also support the U.S. economy," says Becker.

The DVCS 6100 has been designed for both rotary and fixed-wing applications. Since the market introduction of the first DVCS generation, more than 300 systems have been placed into service. The DVCS has been installed in BO105, EC135, EC145, MD900, Bell412, S-70A, DO228, MA-600, Pilatus PC9, L-410, King Air 350, and DHC-5 Buffalo.

Becker Avionics' DVCS 6100 is currently the only ETSO/TSO-certified digital intercom system in its class.
