Acquisition Opportunity HEICO Corporation completed the acquisition of Gables Engineering in July 2025, signaling a strategic consolidation in avionics controls and potential access to HEICO’s broader customer base and channels for cross-sell of Gables’ touchscreen controls, CPDLC support, and satellite communications solutions.

Global Avionics Footprint Gables Engineering’s products are used worldwide in air transport and business aircraft, indicating a broad, international market presence and opportunities to pursue international OEMs and MROs looking for in-house design and manufacturing of custom avionics controls.

Integrated Capabilities With in-house design and manufacturing from concept to completion and a portfolio including communications, navigation, surveillance, audio, speakers, and cockpit controls plus latest touch-screen CPDLC and satellite comms, there is a strong upsell path to existing customers for expanded avionics suites.

Technology Stack Fit Current tech usage including MATLAB, AutoCAD, cloud and security tools (Azure AD, Microsoft 365, KnowBe4) aligns with modern aerospace programs, enabling partnerships for advanced control systems development, simulation, cybersecurity readiness, and secure collaboration on new avionics projects.

Growth and Scale Signals Revenue range of 100M-250M and a sizable employee base together with a high-end OEM reputation position Gables as a scalable partner for larger aerospace programs, potential collaborations with major players like L3Harris, Thales, or Collins through channel partnerships or as a strategic supplier for advanced avionics controls.
