Signia Aerospace has announced the completed acquisition of Goodrich Hoist & Winch, a helicopter rescue hoists and aircraft cargo winch company, from Collins Aerospace. The company will be rebranded as Onboard Systems Hoist & Winch and will operate from Signia’s Mission Systems business unit. Cory VanBuskirk will continue President of the company.
“We are thrilled to bring Onboard Systems Hoist & Winch into Signia Mission Systems, where our passion and focus centre around delivering the highest performing mission-specific equipment to aviation manufacturers and operators worldwide,” said VanBuskirk. “We are committed to aligning the operational performance of the business with the needs of our customers and to completing the development and certification of the Pegasus next generation rescue hoist.”
Onboard Systems Hoist & Winch will maintain its current headquarters in Anaheim, California, and a new facility is expected to open by the end of 2025 to provide maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services.
“As a provider of safety-critical, highly-engineered equipment, Onboard Systems Hoist & Winch is perfectly positioned within Signia Aerospace, where we have the technical wherewithal to design and develop cutting edge products, along with the organisational agility to quickly provide solutions and support to our customers. We believe in this business and the current and future missions it will enable,” commented Norman Jordan, Chief Executive Officer of Signia Aerospace.
