Signia Aerospace Acquires Goodrich Hoist & Winch

Rebrands The Whole Works As 'Onboard Systems Hoist & Winch'

Signia Aerospace has completed the acquisition of the Goodrich Hoist & Winch business, a manufacturer of helicopter rescue hoists and aircraft cargo winches, from Collins Aerospace. 

The company will be rebranded as Onboard Systems Hoist & Winch and will operate within Signia’s Mission Systems business unit alongside brand namesake Onboard Systems International, Lifesaving Systems, and Meeker Aviation.

Onboard Systems Hoist & Winch will continue to be headquartered at its existing facility in Anaheim, California, with an additional nearby facility dedicated to maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) and spares fulfillment that is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2025.

Continuing in his role as President of Signia Missions Systems, Cory VanBuskirk will oversee Onboard Systems Hoist & Winch. “We are thrilled to bring Onboard Systems Hoist & Winch into Signia Mission Systems, where our passion and focus center around delivering the highest performing mission-specific equipment to aviation manufacturers and operators worldwide,” said VanBuskirk. “We are committed to aligning the operational performance of the business with the needs of our customers and to completing the development and certification of the Pegasus™ next generation rescue hoist.”

Norman Jordan, Chief Executive Officer of Signia Aerospace, added, “As a provider of safety-critical, highly-engineered equipment, Onboard Systems Hoist & Winch is perfectly positioned within Signia Aerospace, where we have the technical wherewithal to design and develop cutting edge products, along with the organizational agility to quickly provide solutions and support to our customers. We believe in this business and the current and future missions it will enable.”
