Segments
The company operates through two segments: Systems & Support and Interiors.
Systems & Support consists of the company’s operations that provide integrated solutions, including design; development; and support of proprietary components, subsystems and systems, as well as production of complex assemblies using external designs. Capabilities include hydraulic, mechanical and electromechanical actuation, power and control; a complete suite of aerospace gearbox solutions, including engine accessory gearboxes and helicopter transmissions; active and passive heat exchange technology; fuel pumps, fuel metering units, and Full Authority Digital Electronic Control fuel systems; and hydromechanical and electromechanical primary and secondary flight controls.
Interiors consists of the company’s operations that have historically supplied commercial, business, and regional manufacturers with large metallic structures and continues to supply aircraft interior systems, including air ducting and thermal acoustic insulations systems. Subsequent to the divestitures, the remaining operations of Interiors are those that supply commercial and regional manufacturers with aircraft interior systems.
Products and Services
The company offers a variety of products and services to the aerospace industry through two operating segments: Triumph Systems & Support, whose companies design, develop, and support proprietary components, subsystems, and systems; produce complex assemblies using external designs; and provide full life cycle solutions for commercial, regional, and military aircraft; and Triumph Interiors, whose companies supply commercial, business, and regional manufacturers with insulation parts, interior and composite components to Triumph and customer designs, and the manufacture of thermo-acoustic insulation, environmental control system ducting, and other aircraft interior components for major aerospace OEMs. The company also maintains full maintenance, repair, and overhaul capabilities for all Triumph products across Systems & Support and Interiors, including the manufacture of spare parts.
