Turbine engine component maker Harco and Semco, which supplies electronic equipment for turbine engine and airframe OEMs, have completed the integration of their businesses in the wake of merging in October 2014. The union is intended to create “the pre-eminent solutions provider for sensors and customer interconnect solutions,” said Rick Hoyt, Harco marketing manager, improving the company’s ability to service customers while offering a broadened engineering and manufacturing capability. 
  
Branford, Conn.-based Harco’s executive management team has assumed responsibility for the integrated business, which will operate under the Harco name, and a new president, Patrick Murphy, has been named. “I am excited to join a company clearly on the rise,” said Murphy, “to help leverage the existing strengths of Harco and Semco into a better customer experience.”
