Meggitt plc is a British engineering company specializing in high-performance components and sub-systems for the aerospace, defence and energy markets. The company’s product range includes thermal management systems, sensors, flight control actuation equipment, wheels and brakes, and cockpit fire protection systems. Meggitt’s technologies are used across commercial and military aircraft platforms, as well as in industrial gas turbines and land-based energy applications.
Founded in 1947 by Allen Clark in Coventry, England, Meggitt grew through organic investment and strategic acquisitions to establish itself as a leading supplier to major airframers and defence contractors. Over the decades, the company has expanded its engineering capabilities in materials science, precision machining and electronic controls, enabling it to deliver reliable, lightweight solutions for demanding environments.
Meggitt operates production facilities, engineering centres and service hubs across Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region. This global footprint allows the company to provide local support for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) providers, and end-users. Its strong presence in key aerospace markets supports just-in-time delivery and aftermarket services worldwide.
In February 2022, Parker Hannifin Corporation completed the acquisition of Meggitt, integrating its products and expertise into a broader portfolio of motion and control technologies. Prior to the acquisition, Meggitt was led by Chief Executive Officer Tony Wood, who joined the company in 2016 and oversaw its focus on operational excellence and innovation in propulsion, safety and sensor systems.
