Elbit Systems UK has revealed a restructuring of its UK operations to focus on the growth of its core business.

As part of the reorganisation process, the company has sold its subsidiary Ferranti Technologies’ Power and Control business to TT Electronics for a cash consideration of approximately $12m (£9m).

The transaction was dependent on customary post-completion working capital adjustments.

Ferranti’s remaining business, including training and simulation, display systems, aircrew survival systems, avionics, and few others, is intended to be integrated into Elbit Systems UK.

According to Elbit Systems UK, the deal confirms the company’s strategy to develop its core business through continued investment.
