Acron Technologies Unveils New Corporate Brand at Farnborough International Airshow 2026

Chalet branding, website, and LinkedIn presence launch together as new corporate identity debuts across the company’s aerospace solutions and defense technology portfolio

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Acron Technologies today unveiled its new corporate brand at the Farnborough International Airshow, marking the company’s first public presentation under its new identity. The launch coincides with the debut of Acron Technologies branding on the company’s chalet at the show, as well as the launch of the company’s website and LinkedIn presence (www.acrontechnologies.com and linkedin.com/company/acron-technologies).

“Farnborough is where our industry comes together, and it’s the right stage to officially introduce Acron Technologies to the market,” said Alan Crawford, Chief Executive Officer of Acron Technologies. “Over the past eighteen months, we have brought together companies whose technologies were built to work alongside each other — in the cockpit, on the battlefield, and in the moments when a space mission or rescue operation depend on getting it right. That strategic fit is what Acron Technologies represents, and it is what will keep making each of these companies stronger as the portfolio grows.”

The Acron Technologies brand unites a portfolio of established companies serving the aerospace, defense, and rescue technology markets. Each portfolio company continues to operate under its own name, with its own products, customers, and brand identity unaffected by the launch. The following companies are part of the Acron Technologies portfolio: Acron Aviation, ACR Electronics, APS Aerospace, NAL Technologies, Trakka Systems, Ocean Signal, Digital Barriers, Alereon, Sightline Intelligence, Flight Data Systems, Artex, FreeFlight Systems, and Skytrac.

While each portfolio company will continue to operate independently, the combination of their technologies creates integrated capabilities unique to the Acron Technologies portfolio. Certified avionics and collision-avoidance systems help keep aircraft safely separated in increasingly crowded skies. Secure positioning and communications technology keeps warfighters connected and oriented even when GPS is unavailable. And distress beacons, thermal switches and rescue technology, trusted by the U.S. Coast Guard and flown on NASA’s Artemis program, help bring people home in the worst conditions. Together, these capabilities span the full arc of a flight, a mission, or a rescue — from keeping people safely in the air to bringing them home when something goes wrong.

“Each of these companies has built its reputation over years, and in some cases decades, of work in their respective fields,” Crawford said. “Our new website and LinkedIn presence give customers, partners, and the industry a single place to see the full breadth of what the Acron Technologies portfolio offers, while every portfolio company keeps its own name and identity in the market.”

Acron Technologies to Divest Commercial Training Solutions to FlightSafety International

Divestiture sharpens Acron Technologies’ focus across its two segments — Aerospace Solutions and Defense & Rescue Technologies — and positions the training business for continued growth with FlightSafety

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Acron Technologies (Acron), a portfolio company of TJC LP, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to sell its Commercial Training Solutions (CTS) business — including its Training Systems, Training Services, Aviation Academy and Driver Training platform — to FlightSafety International Inc. (FSI), a leading global provider of aviation training and simulation technology. The agreement allows Acron Technologies to concentrate capital and engineering on its two core segments — Aerospace Solutions and Defense & Rescue Technologies — while expanding FSI’s simulator manufacturing capabilities and global training footprint in the commercial aviation market.

“This agreement sharpens Acron Technologies around what we do best across the platform: the avionics, connectivity and flight data services that keep aircraft safe and connected, and the advanced image processing and analytics, assured position, navigation and timing, resilient connectivity and rescue technologies operators depend on when lives are on the line,” said Alan Crawford, President and Chief Executive Officer, Acron Technologies. “It also places our training business with an owner whose sole focus is training — the strongest outcome we could ask for on behalf of its customers and employees.”

Acron Technologies now operates across two segments. Aerospace Solutions builds the certified avionics, satellite connectivity and flight data services that keep aircraft safe, connected and compliant. Defense & Rescue Technologies builds the advanced image processing and analytics, assured position, navigation and timing, resilient connectivity and rescue technologies that work where GPS and satellites don’t — and the beacons that bring people home. Software runs across both, turning hardware data into decisions.

CTS brings over eight decades of experience in commercial aviation training and simulation. With a long-standing heritage in commercial airline simulator manufacturing, CTS has delivered more than 850 training devices throughout its history, with over 300 full-flight simulators currently in operation worldwide today. Its training and manufacturing locations across the U.S., U.K., and Thailand support pilot and driver training systems and airline academy programs.

The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Harris Williams acted as financial advisors to Acron Technologies on the transaction, and Kirkland & Ellis LLP served as legal advisor. Baker McKenzie served as legal advisor to FSI.
