Sikorsky [UTX] Aerospace Services (SAS), the aftermarket division of Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., recently said it has acquired LifePort Inc., an aircraft accessories manufacturer that specializes in air medical systems, lightweight armor, interior furnishings and EnfliteTM galley equipment for fixed and rotary wing aircraft.
This acquisition establishes SAS’s new accessories business segment.
LifePort, which had been privately owned, will operate as “LifePort, a Sikorsky Aerospace Services Company,” retaining its current executive management team. In addition to its primary facility in Woodland, Wash., LifePort operates additional manufacturing facilities in Georgetown and Plano, Texas.
“LifePort has a history of designing, manufacturing, and supporting the highest quality aviation components available in the fixed and rotary wing industries,” said David Adler, president of SAS. “This acquisition illustrates and reaffirms our commitment to offer solutions that are tailored to fit each customer’s requirements. It is ‘one-stop shopping’ designed with an eye toward customer responsiveness and satisfaction.”
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. LifePort’s revenues for 2009 were about $65 million.
