Astronics Corporation has shared the company’s financial results for the three months ended 4 April 2026 which include the acquisition of Bühler Motor Aviation in October 2025.
The company says growth in sales was driven by the aerospace segment’s continued strength in demand primarily from the commercial transport market, with aerospace sales increasing $22.4 million, or 11.7%, while test systems sales grew $2.2 million, or 15.4%.
Astronics has recently launched new aerospace products such as the EmPower® 1327-27 Dual USB-Type-C in-Seat power outlet last month that is engineered to support the latest portable electronic devices. It allows passengers to simultaneously and efficiently charge their high-power devices such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, and other portable electronic devices during flight.
In total, the company’s first quarter sales increased 12.0% to $230.6 million. “We are off to a strong start in 2026 with strong growth, expanded margins and record bookings and backlog,” Peter J. Gundermann, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said.
“Our team’s focus on operational execution combined with higher volume delivered adjusted EBITDA1 margin of 16.4%. Demand across markets for our products remains robust, as evidenced by record bookings that were driven by strength in both Aerospace and Test. Our activity level is expected to pick up noticeably in the coming quarters and we believe we are well-positioned to capitalise on the opportunities ahead.”
