Rockwell Collins has expanded its cabin
electronics product offering by completing the acquisition of
Airshow, Inc. By combining the product and systems capabilities of
the companies, Rockwell Collins offers a complete line of aircraft
electronics to meet aircraft requirements and passenger needs.
"The acquisition of Airshow complements Rockwell Collins'
product portfolio and allows us to extend our industry leadership
in system development and integration by providing complete cabin
electronics solutions tailored to our customers needs," said Bob
Chiusano, executive vice president and COO, Rockwell Collins
Commercial Systems. "Customers will benefit from Rockwell Collins'
global support infrastructure and high-quality, integrated
solutions that bridge the flight deck and aircraft cabin."
Airshow provides a comprehensive, integrated suite
of cabin electronics systems for business and commercial aircraft,
including cabin environmental controls, passenger information and
entertainment, business support systems, network capabilities and
passenger flight information systems. Airshow's product lines will
be integrated with Rockwell Collins' existing portfolio and service
infrastructure.
Rockwell Collins announced its intent to acquire Airshow in June
2002. (Airshow is Rockwell Collins' second acquisition this year
and the eighth in the past five years. It delivers on the company's
goal to supplement internal growth through acquisitions that
complement and enhance Rockwell Collins' core aviation electronics
and communications capabilities.)
Airshow, headquartered in Tustin (CA), employs approximately 330
employees at facilities in Tustin; Kirkland (WA); Wichita (KS);
Newark (DE); and Toulouse, France.
