THOUSAND OAKS, CA - December 26, 2008 - Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE: TDY - News) announced today that it has acquired the assets of Demo Systems LLC. Demo Systems, headquartered in Moorpark, Calif., designs and manufactures aircraft data loading equipment, flight line maintenance terminals, and data distribution software used by commercial airlines, the U.S. military and aircraft manufacturers. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
"Demo Systems' data loading and software products are highly complementary to Teledyne Controls' family of leading products for aircraft data acquisition, data transfer and flight information management," said Robert Mehrabian, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Teledyne Technologies. "As aircraft avionics systems, such as Electronic Flight Bags and Aircraft Network Servers, demand more complicated avionics software and data transfer, the addition of Demo Systems will help Teledyne Controls continue to provide hardware and software solutions for improved total aircraft information management."
Teledyne Technologies purchased the Demo Systems name, and the acquired business will be combined with Teledyne Controls. Demo Systems had sales of $7.3 million for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
