WHITHER TRIMBLE? AVIONICS COMPANY POISED TO ABANDON GA MARKET?
The last few weeks have not been good ones at Trimble Navigation. The
manufacturer of avionics and other navigation devices closed out a very
poor third financial quarter, losing $36.5 million, finding yet another
way for an aviation-related company to turn a large fortune into a small
one.
On Monday of last week, Trimble informed the Mooney Aircraft
Corporation that they are getting out of the GA nav/comm market. The
move came after a vote by Trimble's Board of Directors which AVweb has
been told was as surprising to the employees within the division as it
was to Mooney.
Mooney officials tell AVweb that Trimble's board voted
to cut their losses and get out of GA to concentrate on more profitable
ventures, and, indeed, Trimble issued a press release saying that it was
restructuring its operations and ending production of certain products
at its Austin, Texas plant where its GA operations are located.
However,on Friday, Trimble spokesperson Leann McNabb would say only that
the
company is "reviewing and considering a number of options." She told
AVweb no decisions have been made and that it will be at least a week
before anything is decided.
