Curtiss-Wright Controls Integrated Sensing Europe is comprised of two former Penny and Giles business divisions which it acquired in 2002 - Penny and Giles Aerospace and Penny and Giles Controls.
Through these two companies it supplies a range of position measurement, control and recording solutions to OEMs in a wide variety of markets including automotive and motorsport, materials handling, off-highway equipment, construction, hydraulics and pneumatics, and aerospace and defence.
"The increased synergy between the two businesses provides us with a fantastic opportunity," explains Kevin, who is aiming at significant growth for the company: "The market is driving a natural migration between the two offerings.
Industry is demanding the higher specification in performance-critical components that we've been supplying to the aerospace market for more than 50 years - and aerospace is under pressure to find high volume solutions that can still offer reliability and accuracy".
