Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. is an American manufacturer of
aerostructures for commercial airplanes, headquartered in Wichita, Kansas. It is
the world's largest tier-one manufacturer and supplier of aerostructures.
Beginning in February 2005 Boeing sold sold its Wichita factory along with
facilities in Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma to Canadian investment firm Onex
Corporation, with the deal finalizing in June of that same year. Originally
formed as Mid-Western Aircraft Systems, it changed its name on July of that same
year to its current denomination.
The following year on January 31, 2006
it was announced that it had agreed to acquire the aerostructures business unit
from BAE Systems, including its facilities in Prestwick, U.K , with the
transaction being completed on April 1, 2006.
On October 31, 2019, Spirit
acquired Bombardier Aviation's aerostructures activities and aftermarket
services operations in Belfast (a former Short Brothers plant) and Casablanca,
with the acquisition completing a year later in October 2020.
In February
2020, Spirit acquired Fiber Materials Inc., a company which specializes in
making high-temperature materials and composites, primarily for the defense and
space industry, operating out of facilities in Biddeford, Maine and Woonsocket,
Rhode Island. In July 2021, the company purchased Applied Aerodynamics, an
aerostructures maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility in Dallas.
After years of losses and quality control problems at Spirit, Boeing started
talks to re-acquire Spirit AeroSystems in March 2024 with the announcement of
Boeing to buy it back made on June 30, a deal that deal that is expected to
close in mid-2025, pending regulatory approval.
