Textron Specialised Vehicles has acquired, through its Swedish affiliate Textron Sweden, the assets of Safeaero i Trelleborg, a Swedish manufacturer of de-icers for the aviation industry.
Safeaero’s business will now operate as part of Textron Specialised Vehicles’ Ground Support Equipment business, which manufactures an extensive GSE product line under the TUG, Douglas and Premier brands.
Safeaero’s line of de-icers is primarily designed to allow for efficient de-icing operations at major airport hubs. The line includes five different models, some of which offer easy, single worker operation. Safeaero’s product line complements Textron Specialised Vehicles’ existing Premier line of de-icers, which primarily serve regional spoke airports and general aviation facilities.
