OMAHA, Neb., 15 Jan. 2008. AIM-USA Llc in Omaha, Neb., and Precision Fibre Channel (PFC) Llc in Beavercreek, Ohio, have completed their merger to create a Fibre Channel provider for the aerospace and commercial storage area network industries.
Both companies will combine under AIM-USA. The combined company will benefit from an experienced engineering team with extensive industry knowledge in Fibre Channel technology and avionics products like the MIL-STD-1553 databus.
The technology that PFC owns can be applied to AIM-USA's aerospace applications to engineer an expanding array of new avionics and weapons interface products. The merger enables the combined company to better compete in rapidly evolving avionics and weapon systems databus applications, company officials say.
Bill Fleissner, current President of AIM-USA, will continue as president of the combined company. The new company's board of directors will consist of members of AIM-USA and Precision Fibre Channel.
"The recent buyout of our foreign minority owners/partners in AIM-USA allowed for this merger," Fleissner says. "Now with 100 percent U.S. ownership by employees, AIM-USA is able to combine the already tightly coupled PFC relationship, and further improve our combined efficiencies for customer value."
AIM-USA designs and manufactures precision flight, test, and simulation modules, databus analyzers, and systems for MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, ARINC 818, AFDX/ARINC 664, STANAG 3910/EFEX, and Panavia Serial Link applications. Precision Fibre Channel makes high-performance tester modules for Fibre Channel interfaces.
"With the development of avionics bus (FPGA based) interface products, we can now solve more embedded and classified applications, in addition to continuing the fine line of test and simulation equipment previously offered," Fleissner says.
