Avionics companies Dynon and Trig announced this week that they had merged into one company.
Scotland-based Trig is now part of the USA's Dynon Group, a company that they have been supplying aviation radios and transponders to for a number of years.
Dynon Avionics has been focusing on glass cockpit systems such as the SkyView range, which has been integrated with the Trig-built components.
“We are pleased to be joining forces with Dynon Avionics,” said Andy Davis, CEO of Trig Avionics. “Dynon is a world leader in avionics innovation, and we believe that our combined expertise will allow us to develop even better products for our customers. We look forward to a bright future together.”
Former Dynon VP of Engineering Brad Thurlow will lead the combined entity after being appointed president of Dynon Avionics. Former president Robert Hamilton will become the Chief Operating Officer.
"We are excited to welcome Trig to the Dynon family," said Thurow. "Trig is a well-respected brand in the aviation industry, with products that are known for their quality and reliability. This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver integrated and innovative avionics solutions for the GA community.”
Trig is best known for nav/comm stacks for GA, compact radios and transponders for recreational and experimental aircraft.
Dynon Avionics manufactures the SkyView EFIS range for both recreational/experimental and certified aircraft and the D30 and D30 compact glass instruments.
The merger comes as Dynon celebrates its 25th year of operation, having been founded at Woodinville in Washington state in 2000.
