Boeing to Acquire C-Map
The Boeing Company agreed to acquire C-Map. C-Map will become a part of Jeppesen's marine division. Jeppesen is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boeing Commercial Aviation Services. Lou Mancini, vice president and general manager of Commercial Aviation Services, appreciates C-Map's portfolio of cartography and data services, along with its key relationships with hydrographic offices, OEMs and customers and expects that they will accelerate Jeppesen's expansion in the marine information services market. "C-Map complements Jeppesen's strategic direction," said Mark Van Tine, Jeppesen president and chief operating officer. "It blends well with our existing marine initiatives, and complements our long-standing competencies as an information solutions provider. Together with C-Map, Jeppesen will extend to the marine market a broad range of competencies we have developed and executed upon over the last 72 years - delivering mission-critical operational information to people who depend on it." C-Map has significant operations throughout Europe, Australasia and the Americas. The companies are not disclosing terms of the transaction, which will not impact Boeing's financial guidance. Completion of the transaction is subject to customary conditions and relevant authorities' approval.
