10 January 2022
London, 10th January 2022 – Elbit Systems UK today announced that it has sold Ferranti Technologies’ Power and Control business to TT Electronics plc. This confirms Elbit Systems UK’s strategy of focussing on the growth of its core business through continued investment, and consolidating its market position as a leading provider of advanced technology-enabled solutions and services.
