Looking back on our success.

B/E Aerospace has a long-standing heritage of over 100 years. Our real history begins with a large investment group looking to purchase a business within a strong niche market. In 1987, the firm acquired Bach Engineering, a leading manufacturer of passenger control units for airline seats.

Within two short years, the group then purchased Bach's primary competitor, EECO Avionics, which landed the company a 60 percent market share. The two acquisitions gave the company its name, B/E Avionics. The company then went public in April 1990, and shortly thereafter was renamed B/E Aerospace.

The market for cabin interior products was highly segmented, which made diversification a natural option for B/E Aerospace. The Company set out to compete on the basis of one-stop shopping and unique integrated products. Today, B/E Aerospace is the global leader in interior aircraft products and services.
