Products from this division are supplied to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as well as to distributors who cater to the aftermarket across a wide array of sectors. These include industries focused on manufacturing, packaging, processing, transportation, construction, climate control (refrigeration and air conditioning), agriculture, and military machinery and equipment. In contrast, the Aerospace Systems segment focuses on delivering specialized components and systems for both commercial and military aircraft structures and engine applications. Its comprehensive offerings encompass control actuation systems, parts for engine construction and exhaust, entire engine systems, fluid transport and fuel systems (including those for fuel tank inerting), hydraulic and lubrication components, pilot interface controls, pneumatic control elements, thermal regulation products, and landing gear wheels and brakes. The segment also provides devices for precise fluid measurement, distribution, and atomization. Sales within this particular division are conducted directly with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and final consumers.
