Rosen Aviation, an inflight entertainment (IFE) systems and cabin electronics company headquartered in Eugene, Oregon, has announced that it has been acquired by the HEICO Corporation as of 17th April, 2025.
Rosen joins the HEICO group six months after Mid-Continent Controls (MC2), a niche designer and manufacturer specialising in proprietary in-cabin power and entertainment components and subsystems for business jets, was also acquired by the group.
The two organisations will be led by MC2 president, Thomas Hemphill, as part of the Radiant Power division of the HEICO Electronic Technologies Group.
HEICO has stated that it expects the deal to be accretive to its earnings within the year following the Rosen acquisition. The transaction marks HEICO’s fourth company acquisition in the past six months. Mesirow acted as sole financial advisor to the sellers.
The new companies of HEICO Corporation intend to ‘significantly grow and enhance’ their offerings in IFE and CMS technologies for the business, V/VIP, and commercial aircraft markets, including manufacturers, operators, completions centres and sub-system suppliers.
Lee Clark, senior vice-president strategy at Rosen Aviation stated: “Joining the HEICO and Mid-Continent group signals a seismic shift for both Rosen and our capabilities, and how we can expand the cutting-edge solutions we design and deliver that ultimately redefine the passenger experience. Leveraging Rosen’s more than 45 years of expertise, now supported and in collaboration with two renowned entities in aviation technology, the future looks increasingly bright. I join our valued customers and partners in shared excitement for what’s just beyond the horizon.”
