Ontic’s Acquisition of Part of GE Aviation’s Avionics Business

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 AWl 01 helicopters, Lockheed Cl 30/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 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 GE Aviation's legacy avionics parts" Gareth Hall, Ontic President and Managing Director said. "Ontic is leading the way in supporting 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."
