Unison Now Owns Elano 

Unison Industries says it has merged with Elano Corporation. Elano will operate as a division of Unison Industries and will report to Unison’s management team. Elano is located in Dayton, Ohio and also operates facilities in Canada and Thailand. Initially, Elano will continue to operate under the Elano name, but will eventually become a part of the Unison Industries brand.

Elano Corporation was founded in 1950 by Erv Nutter and Lee Otterson (ELANO) and is a diversified business that offers advancements in design technology and engineering expertise. In 1986, after years of exemplary support for GE Aircraft Engines, Elano was purchased by the General Electric Company (GE) and made a wholly owned subsidiary.

Elano’s products and services include the design and manufacture of tubing, ducting, and brackets for aerospace engine, nacelle, engine build-up (EBU), and airframe applications and the repair and overhaul of engine and aircraft ducting for commercial airlines and MRO facilities. The Elano division of Unison is one of the world’s largest OEM of aircraft engine tubing, ducting and manifold assemblies for jet engines.

“Elano is a first-class operation with a record of doing whatever it takes to meet commitments and add value to its customers’ business,” said Unison’s President, Brad Mottier. “These are the same values present at Unison. In addition, this merger is important because it now allows engine and airframe customers an opportunity to simplify their tubing/ducting and wiring harnesses supply demands and tap into centralized configuration management services being offered by Unison.”
