Astronics Corporation has signed a cooperative agreement with Aerotec Concept of Toulouse, France. The agreement will provide both companies the opportunity to offer a greater breadth of new technologies, applications, and/or modifications requiring EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) and FAA (U.S. Federal Aviation Administration) certifications to the marketplace. More specifically, the cooperative agreement provides Astronics the means to expand its comprehensive design, development, analysis, substantiation, certification, kitting and manufacturing capabilities further into the aerospace market in Europe.
Astronics and Aerotec have a rich history of successful collaborative efforts including qualification of The Edge, Astronics' newly launched fully scalable Cabin Network IFE Platform, certification of large radome installations and power solutions for portable electronic devices.
“Aerotec's expertise in testing, engineering and certification along with our integrated connectivity and data solutions make this an exciting partnership, and we look forward to supporting the European market as it continues to recover from the impact of COVID-19.” says Mike Kuehn, President of Astronics CSC.
