adminRADNOR, Pa. – Triumph Group, Inc. (NYSE: NYSE:), an aerospace and defense systems and components manufacturer, has finalized the sale of its Product Support business to aviation services provider AAR CORP. (NYSE: NYSE:). The deal, valued at $725 million, was completed today, with Triumph anticipating net after-tax proceeds of about $700 million. The company plans to use the majority of these funds for debt reduction.

The Systems & Support segment will now focus on three engineered systems components and aftermarket companies, with an emphasis on Actuation Products and Services, Systems Electronics and Controls, and Geared Solutions. Triumph’s Interiors segment, combined with these components, will operate across 21 sites with approximately 4,500 employees. Over 60% of the company’s offerings will be rooted in Triumph’s intellectual property, with 90% being supplied on a sole-sourced basis.
