Our Values
|
Crane's founder, Richard Teller Crane, was focused on doing business the right way and providing the best quality for our customers when he started Crane in 1855. Crane Aerospace & Electronics is built on that same foundation of strength and integrity. His vision for the company is still in existence today.
"I am resolved to conduct my business in the strictest honesty and fairness;
to avoid all deception and trickery; to deal fairly with both customers and competitors;
to be liberal and just toward employees; and to put my whole mind upon the business."
Richard Teller Crane, July 4, 1855 |

Our Company
|
|
In 1999, Crane Aerospace was formed from four long-time industry leaders — ELDEC Corporation, Lear Romec, Hydro-Aire and Interpoint. The newly formed organization gave customers and partners one source for sensing, power, fuel and braking systems — and the many years of experience that these industry pioneers had between them.
Signal Technology was added to the Crane Aerospace team in 2003, bringing along the well-known Keltec brand, and the name evolved to Crane Aerospace & Electronics. P.L. Porter's portfolio of seat actuation products were added in 2004, and Merrimac Industries brought their unique Multi-Mix® technology to the team in 2010.
Each of the brands that make up Crane Aerospace & Electronics is proven in the marketplace, recognized globally and maintains a large market share in the markets in which they serve. Today, when you partner with Crane Aerospace & Electronics, you join our rich heritage of experience, product leadership and operational excellence.
