Causeway Aero Group has acquired Pitch Aircraft Seating Systems for an undisclosed sum. This follows the award, in March 2019, of a contract for Causeway to certify, manufacture, and assemble the Pitch PF3000 lightweight, fixed back economy class seat, at its facility in Lisburn, Northern Ireland.
The Pitch brand completes Causeway’s ‘nose to tail’ aero interiors capability and represents a unique opportunity for Causeway to have an important role in the recovery of the commercial aviation industry in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially as low-cost carriers will be a key element in re-generating travel. While Causeway will continue to provide integration, engineering and production support to major interior manufacturers by providing high quality bespoke components, the well-established Pitch brand will continue and be marketed separately as it has become synonymous with aesthetic appeal, high quality and high durability in the high density cabin environment.
