ARINC broadly touches the entire aviation
eco-system, including pilots, operators,
maintenance, passengers, controllers,
regulators, security, and airport operations. In
addition, ARINC provides communications and
information processing for the rail, industrial
security and public safety segments. Their 2013
revenues are expected to be in excess of $600
million. When completed, the acquisition will
shift the balance of Rockwell Collins’ business
to approximately 54 percent commercial and 46
percent government.
“ARINC’s strong customer base, high customer
retention rates and subscription business model
will help the company achieve accelerated growth
and benefit from greater earnings consistency
throughout the commercial aviation business
cycle,” added Ortberg.
"We’re excited to be joining a company who
shares our vision and focus on providing trusted
solutions for our customers," said ARINC
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John
Belcher. "Rockwell Collins’ expertise in
managing information on-board the aircraft,
coupled with our innovative and reliable air to
ground communications services, will be
instrumental in providing new integrated
information management solutions for our
customers."
