Deal Expected To Close In Early December

Kaman Corporation has agreed to acquire Global Aerosystems, LLC (“Global”) of Everett, Washington, a provider of aerostructure engineering design analysis and FAA certification services to the aerospace industry.

"We are pleased to welcome the employees of Global Aerosystems to Kaman and we look forward to working together to offer expanded capabilities to the aerospace industry," said Greg Steiner, President of the Kaman Aerospace Group, in a news release Thursday.

Together, we can now provide seamless services, from origination and concept design through component manufacturing, assembly, certification and post production support. Combined we will be able to take on responsibility for engineering design and production of aerostructure assemblies to produce both metallic and composite component fabrications and subassemblies.”

“Chuck Rhoden, President and Chief Executive Officer at Global Aerosystems and his team have provided critical engineering and design services to Boeing and we look forward to working to expand this valuable teaming relationship with this important customer," added Neal Keating, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kaman Corporation. The acquisition of Global represents Kaman’s fourth acquisition in 2010 and continues our effort to add critical skill-sets and capabilities that will allow us to accelerate our organic growth and deliver more value added services to support our customers.”
