New York aerospace manufacturer Air Industries said it has inked its third Connecticut acquisition since June.
The publicly traded company has acquired Barkhamsted’s Sterling Engineering, which makes components used by Pratt & Whitney, General Electric and Siemens jet turbine engines.
Air Industries, which said Feb. 2 it had agreed to acquire an unidentified New England component maker, did not disclose the purchase price, which includes Sterling’s 75,000-square-foot manufacturing facility.
Sterling will operate as a subsidiary of Air Industries, and will keep its workforce and management, it said.
Air Industries CEO Dan Godin said in a statement that the acquisition continues the company’s plan to expand its presence in the jet engine and turbine industries.
In October, Air Industries acquired South Windsor’s AMK Welding, which welds components for aerospace manufacturers, for $6.8 million.
In June, the company bought Waterbury military products packager Eur-Pac Corp. for $1.6 million and stock.
