MC2's products enhance the aircraft user experience, enabling passengers to mirror their ground experience in the air as they stay connected in flight. The company offers hundreds of different niche parts used on a wide range of business aircraft, while serving both new aircraft production and the aftermarket.
Founded in 1996 by industry veteran Rick Hemphill, MC2 employs approximately 60 people at its Derby, KS engineering, production and testing facility. Rick Hemphill's son, Thomas Hemphill, will continue leading MC2 as its president, along with Mike Freel, MC2's General Manager. Thomas Hemphill and Mr. Freel will also remain company shareholders. Rick Hemphill will continue as a guiding consultant to MC2. HEICO stated that MC2 will operate from its Derby, KS location and that it does not expect material Team Member turnover to result from the acquisition. MC2 will report to HEICO's Radiant Power Group, which serves some of the same markets as MC2.
