ITT Inc. has acquired Aerospace Contacts for $31 million, the company announced, marking a targeted move to expand its connect and control product portfolio within the aerospace and defense sectors. The deal adds specialized connector technology to ITT's existing industrial and aerospace components business, deepening its foothold in a market where precision components are in high demand.
