Press releaseIssued by Aerox Aviation Oxygen Systems, LLC.

O2 Aero Acquisitions, the parent company of Aerox® Aviation Oxygen Systems, today announced that it has acquired Hudson, Ohio based Fluid Power, Inc, a leading manufacturer of military-type oxygen systems and components for the aviation industry. The acquisition gives Aerox® additional breadth to its line of aviation oxygen systems for military and specialty applications and expands Aerox's service and products to its global customer base.

“Our acquisition of Fluid Power will create a balanced military and civil aviation product portfolio and will provide greater manufacturing capacity and engineering expertise.” said O2 Aero Managing Director and Aerox® President Scott E. Ashton. “Fluid Power has a 75-year legacy of servicing the aviation industry, providing sophisticated oxygen equipment as far back as the Korean War, and today provides many oxygen components for military applications.”

Fluid Power complements the Aerox® Aviation Oxygen product portfolio and allows both companies to provide the aerospace industry with integrated solutions and highly tailored oxygen components. The acquisition also allows Aerox® to expand its customer base and to provide enhanced product offerings.

Fluid Power will continue to operate as an independent company within the O2 Aero Acquisitions portfolio and will be re-branded as “Aerox Fluid Power®.”

The acquisition of Fluid Power closed on August 31, 2023, marking the third transaction for O2 Aero Acquisitions following the 2020 acquisition of Aerox® Aviation Oxygen Systems and the 2022 acquisition of Sky-Ox® Aviation Oxygen.
