Ontic, a BBA Aviation company and the aerospace industry's leading provider of 'Extended Life Solutions' for OEM legacy products, has acquired a portfolio of legacy avionics products (the "Business") from GE Aviation. The agreement was signed in November and completed on the 30th of December 2016.
The Business incorporates a portfolio of legacy avionics parts servicing the military and commercial aviation markets, including electro mechanical, barometric, gyroscopes and electronics products. Key platforms include Boeing 737, Sikorsky Sea King and Leonardo AW101 helicopters, Lockheed C130/J transports and BAE Hawk aircraft. The portfolio has a strong fit with Ontic's existing business, and the acquisition is aligned to Ontic's strategy to deliver continued profitable growth in mature avionics and electronics products with high intellectual property content. With significant experience of acquisitions including a similar business bought from GE Aviation in 2011, Ontic has proven processes to ensure the seamless integration of new product lines, which will be supported in this case by a transitional services agreement with GE Aviation.
"We are extremely pleased with the acquisition of the GE Aviation's legacy avionics parts," Gareth Hall, Ontic president and managing director, said. "Ontic is leading the way in supporting the maturing and non-core aerospace products in collaboration with our OEM partners and this acquisition has expanded our avionics portfolio and also our presence on a number of key platforms."
Ontic will be attending the HAI Heli-Expo 2017 in Dallas, stop by booth 7608 to talk to an Ontic expert.
