GARRETT AVIATION Services, the business-aircraft support unit which became independent of AlliedSignal in 1994, has bought California-based Carrier Aircraft Interiors, which specialises in corporate aircraft.
Arizona-based Garrett says that the Los Angeles International Airport-based unit will continue trading under its original title and will complement Garrett's Jet Center, which is based at nearby Van Nuys Airport.
The acquisition of Carrier will particularly expand Garrett's coverage of mid-size corporate turbine aircraft. Garrett's Jet Center concentrates on interiors for large corporate aircraft.
Tosington Enterprises, a manufacturer of executive seats for business aircraft and specialist seats for helicopters, has been bought by, Derlan of Santa Ana, California.
Derlan manufactures various aircraft products including interiors, sheet-metal assemblies and fabricated structures, as well as metal and composite aircraft external stores.
