Monday, 10 June 2019

Heroux-Devtek Inc., the world's third-largest landing gear manufacturer, today announced that it has concluded the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of Montreal-based Alta Precision Inc., a manufacturer of high-precision landing gear components. The transaction, which is subject to final purchase price adjustments, is valued at $23 million and was funded through the Corporation's credit facilities.

Heroux-Devtek, with its head office in Longueuil, Quebec, has 1,960 employees around the world, of which approximately 800 are located in Quebec following the acquisition of Alta Precision Inc. Since its inception in 1942, Heroux-Devtek has grown from a small repair and overhaul facility to a world-class supplier of landing gear and actuation systems, delivering on major platforms such as the Boeing 777 and 777X. This acquisition, along with those of CESA, Beaver and Tekalia announced over the last year, strengthen its leadership position around the world.

"The acquisition of Alta Precision Inc. expands our portfolio of commercial products by providing both access to new programs and additional content on existing platforms. It also comes with the backlog and manufacturing capacity necessary to grow the existing business", said Martin Brassard, President & CEO of Heroux-Devtek.

"We would like to welcome the Alta Precision Inc. employees and its president Guillermo Alonso who will join the growing Heroux-Devtek team. Together, we are confident in our ability to add value to Alta Precision Inc.'s operations and meet growing demand for our world-class landing gear offering", added Martin Brassard.

"We are delighted to join Heroux-Devtek, a leading landing gear manufacturer for the global aerospace industry. With its growing customer base in North America and Europe, we will play a strong role in accelerating the growth of the corporation," said Guillermo Alonso, President of Alta Precision Inc.
