Firan Technology Group

In 1983, a company was founded in Toronto, Canada, that would become a critical, though often unseen, player in the global aerospace and defense industry. This company, initially known as Circuit World Corporation, started with a focus on manufacturing printed circuit boards (PCBs), the foundational components for all electronics. The business wasn't about making consumer gadgets; it was about building the high-reliability, high-technology circuits that could withstand the extreme conditions of aerospace and defense applications. The company, which would later become Firan Technology Group (FTG), established itself by creating two specialized divisions: FTG Circuits and FTG Aerospace. FTG Circuits focused on producing the complex PCBs that serve as the electronic backbone for advanced systems. Meanwhile, FTG Aerospace took on the task of designing and manufacturing illuminated cockpit panels, keyboards, and other assemblies for aircraft manufacturers. This dual-pronged strategy allowed them to build deep, technical partnerships within the industry. A significant part of FTG’s journey has been its growth through strategic acquisitions. Traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol FTG, the company has consistently used acquisitions to expand its capabilities and market reach. A key move came in late 2024 with the acquisition of FLYHT Aerospace Solutions. This wasn't just about buying another company; it was about integrating new technologies, particularly in the aftermarket and commercial aerospace sectors, and leveraging FLYHT's technical expertise for future growth. The acquisition, completed in December 2024, made FLYHT a wholly-owned subsidiary of FTG, signaling a clear strategy to strengthen its position in the aerospace market.
