Frank Hermance, chairman and CEO of Ametek, said: “This acquisition broadens the reach of our aerospace and defense business. The business serves a wide variety of commercial aircraft and defense customers. Their products complement our existing aerospace safety products and offer us important growth opportunities in fire detection, fire suppression, oxygen supply and other safety systems.

“Ameron Global operates three facilities across the US for the maintenance, repair and overhaul of fire suppression and oxygen supply systems, adding complementary and differentiated capabilities to our existing global maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) network. Coupled with other recent Ametek MRO acquisitions and expansion activities, we have a significant and growing presence in this attractive market.”

This business joins Ametek within its aerospace and defense division, which is a supplier of engine and aircraft sensors and monitoring systems, data acquisition units, fuel and fluid measurement systems, cables and harness assemblies, solid-state power distribution products, avionics blowers and fans, heat transfer and cooling systems, and maintenance, repair and overhaul services.
