Aerox Aviation Oxygen Systems parent company O2 Aero Acquisitions has acquired Hudson, Ohio-based Fluid Power, a manufacturer of oxygen systems and components for the aviation industry, O2 said today. The acquisition adds breadth to Aerox’s line of aviation oxygen systems for military and specialty applications and expands its global customer base.
“Our acquisition of Fluid Power will create a balanced military and civil aviation product portfolio and will provide greater manufacturing capacity and engineering expertise,” said O2 Aero managing director and Aerox president Scott Ashton. “Fluid Power has a 75-year legacy of servicing the aviation industry, providing sophisticated oxygen equipment as far back as the Korean War, and today provides many oxygen components for military applications.”
Fluid Power will continue to operate as an independent company within the O2 Aero Acquisitions portfolio and do business under the brand name Aerox Fluid Power. 
The acquisition of Fluid Power closed on August 31, marking the third transaction for O2 Aero Acquisitions following the 2020 purchase of Aerox Aviation Oxygen Systems and the 2022 acquisition of Sky-Ox Aviation Oxygen.
Aerox’s product line includes OEM- and STC-installed oxygen systems, TSO-approved oxygen masks, PMA oxygen cylinders, and portable oxygen products. Its newest oxygen system—the Lighter than Air Walkaround Portable Oxygen kit—has won contracts for numerous airline cargo conversions.
