Aircraft lighting, cabin management systems, and flight deck safety products manufacturer Heads Up Technologies has acquired STG Aerospace. Based in Cwmbran, UK, and Miami, STG also makes aircraft cabin lighting products, including the first photoluminescent emergency guidance systems. STG also pioneered the LED mood lighting system for aircraft.

“We are thrilled to welcome the STG Aerospace team to Heads Up Technologies to leverage our collective lighting solutions to meet critical OEM and operator needs across the entire aviation market,” said Heads Up Technologies president and CEO Robert Harshaw. “STG Aerospace’s concept-to-certification capability and extensive intellectual property are excellent complements to Heads Up Technologies’ portfolio of lighting innovations.”

This marks the first acquisition by Texas-based Heads Up Technologies since being purchased by JLL Partners in September 2019. Heads Up designs, engineers and manufactures complex cockpit, cabin, and aircraft electrical components and systems for the business and commercial aviation markets.
