Appareo is reportedly in the process of being acquired. AGCO, an agricultural equipment company, has signaled its intent to add the manufacturer of off-grid aviation equipment to its portfolio of gear providers.
They reportedly agreed to the acquisition because of the firm's engineering and manufacturing capabilities, seeing value in their know-how and development expertise.
Appareo's aeronautical portfolio includes flight data recorders, monitoring recorders, imaging systems,aircraft communication units, speech recognition units, and the popular GA Stratus product line. Their agricultural and defense equipment follows the same vein, with load monitoring for the forest service's firefighting equipment and inertial navigation equipment for the USAF.
