Germany-based HENSOLDT has purchased EuroAvionics Group, which provides avionics systems for helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), for an undisclosed sum.

The acquisition was completed after meeting all the legal requirements mentioned in the share purchase agreement.

In May, HENSOLDT signed the agreement with Equistone Partners Europe and management to buy EuroAvionics.

HENSOLDT strategic business development head Celia Pelaz said: “The takeover of EuroAvionics is the perfect example of a strategic acquisition since both parties generate added value from our collaboration.

“We can now develop a comprehensive Avionics product line at HENSOLDT by combining the strengths of EuroAvionics in the civilian market and our own portfolio, which has primarily been geared towards the military up until now.”

“The takeover of EuroAvionics is the perfect example of a strategic acquisition since both parties generate added value from our collaboration."

With the acquisition, HENSOLDT is also expecting to improve its access to civilian helicopter manufacturers and fleet operators.
