  • Head office at 1111 Saint-Charles Street West, Suite 600, West Tower, Longueuil, Quebec, per its owner's company page. platinumequity.com

  • Describes itself in its own releases as "the world's third-largest landing gear manufacturer". Its owner's page adds 1.4 million square feet and 125+ aerospace and defence programmes supported. skiesmag.com

  • Acquired by Platinum Equity at $32.50 cash per share, delisted from the TSX by 13 February 2025. The C$1.35 billion figure is an enterprise value, not a purchase price. skiesmag.com

  • Platinum Equity is an investment firm rather than an operating company, so the acquisition does not make Héroux-Devtek a foreign operating subsidiary. Its head office remains in Longueuil. platinumequity.com

  • Won an ITP Aero development contract for a nozzle-actuator demonstrator for the European NGWS/FCAS fighter engine, a 27-month programme performed by its Spanish subsidiary CESA. skiesmag.com

  • Boeing earmarked $35 million CAD of a $240 million CAD Espace Aéro commitment for Héroux-Devtek. That is an investment commitment, not a contract award. betakit.com

  • Its own website is behind a bot challenge that returns no readable content, so nothing on herouxdevtek.com could be verified here. The founding year of 1942 rests on its LinkedIn page. linkedin.com
