RSA offers air ducting products, connectors, flexible joints, ozone converters, machined assemblies, and more products predominantly used in aerospace and defense engine bleed air, anti-icing, and environmental control system applications. Upon closing, the company will become part of the TriMas aerospace segment.

“We are excited to announce the acquisition of RSA Engineered Products, which will enhance the breadth of TriMas aerospace’s product line offering,” says Thomas Amato, president and CEO of TriMas. “RSA also increases our position in the defense and business jet markets, as well as adds to our aerospace and defense aftermarket capabilities.”

RSA’s facility has about 100 employees who will remain in their positions. It offers engineering, testing, and manufacturing capabilities and generates about $32 million in annual revenue. The majority of the company’s sales are through military, commercial, regional, and business jet end markets.
