Unison Industries has doubled its annual sales to $125 million with its takeover of the engine electrical systems division of BFGoodrich.
The acquisition, which the US aircraft ignition systems company announces today, sees the addition of Forth Worth in Texas and Norwich, New York, to Unison's two existing manufacturing sites in Jacksonville, Florida, and Rockford, Illinois. The workforce also increases to 1,100.
Perfect
"It's a perfect marriage of two complementary organisations," says Bradley Mottier, Unison's senior vice-president.
"We now have even more engineering and manufacturing talent and a broader customer base."
The combined operations will continue to focus on electrical accessories for aviation and industrial engines with such products as ignitions, alternators and low-voltage harnesses.
