TransDigm Acquires Turbine Supplier

TransDigm Group last week acquired Aircraft Parts Corp. (APC), of Holtsville, N.Y., from GE subsidiary Unison Industries for $68 million.

APC designs and manufactures starter generators, generator control units, and related components for turbine engines. Major applications include the Citation family of business jets, Bombardier Learjets, Dash 8-400 turboprops and Bell and Augusta commercial helicopters.

“APC's line of proprietary, highly engineered starter generators and generator control units complement TransDigm's product offering in the commercial aerospace market, and their aftermarket content fits TransDigm's business strategy,” said W. Nicholas Howley, TransDigm Group chairman and CEO.
