Distributor TTI, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, announced it will acquire Astrex Electronics, a specialty military/aerospace connector distributor.
Mike Morton, president TTI Americas, said Astrex has been focused on the military/aerospace connector marketplace for 50 years and the acquisition will “prove to be an exception benefit to TTI customers.”
Mike McGuire, Astrex president, said that TTI is committed to customer service and technical expertise and joining the company will allow Astrex to provide an “even higher level of service. We look forward to being a part of the culture and values TTI is known for,” he said.
Astrex will operate independently of the TTI organization until such time as systems integration is complete. McGuire will report directly to Morton beginning immediately and subsequent to the integration.
The acquisition will close June 30. Terms were not disclosed.
