Emteq purchased airborne lighting systems specialist Flight Components, AG, of Bachenbülach, Switzerland, a move the company said will expand its reach in the lighting market. Emteq, New Berlin, Wis., said the acquisition will mean it is able to offer a complete array of exterior lighting products, including anti-collision, position and tail lights, to complement its existing interior LED lighting system solutions. “The acquisition allows Emteq to provide comprehensive nose-to-tail and wing-to-wing lighting solutions for both its fixed-wing and rotorcraft military and commercial customers, while increasing Emteq’s presence in Europe,” the company said in a statement. “This acquisition provides us with a product line of exterior lighting that complements our LED interior cabin lighting solutions, integration services and avionics related products. Our customers are looking for more value and turnkey capabilities, and Flight Components’ exterior LED lighting is second to none,” said Jerry Jendusa, Emteq’s president and CEO.  Emteq said Flight Components utilizes the latest in LED technology and integrated optics for small package sizes, lightweight and efficient product offerings. Each company will retain their current names, locations and product and service offerings, Emteq said. For related news
