“We serve the world’s leading in-flight entertainment and
connectivity providers, and this transition represents further
commitment to offer our customers the most complete set of
connectivity hardware, installation design, and certification
services available from a single supplier,” said Peter J.
Gundermann, President and Chief Executive Officer of Astronics
Corporation. “Astronics CSC combines the best of both worlds –
offering a suite of connectivity solutions that can be delivered a
la carte or as a complete solution set, according to customer
needs. With all of this capability in-house, we anticipate
shortening a customer’s time to market for new, certified IFEC
systems.”
Astronics CSC will continue to offer the products and services
formerly offered by Armstrong Aerospace, working both within
Astronics and with its industry partners to certify and install new
IFEC, power, and other systems on commercial and business
aircraft.
Astronics CSC will also continue to offer the products
previously marketed by Telefonix PDT, including its cord reels and
in-flight connectivity hardware such as wireless access points,
servers, and control components. Product Development Technologies
(PDT), a product design and development consultancy, will operate
independently within the Astronics CSC structure.
The new Astronics CSC group will complement the connectivity and
data solutions from other Astronics subsidiaries, including
Astronics AeroSat, manufacturer of SATCOM antennas, and Astronics
Ballard Technology, manufacturer of cockpit connectivity
components.
Astronics CSC will continue to operate from its existing office
locations in the greater Chicago area with current personnel.
Michael Kuehn, formerly the president of Telefonix, will serve as
the president of Astronics CSC.
