Philippe Ancelle Is Appointed as Vice President

AlliedSignal Inc. (NYSE:ALD) has formed a new European aerospace organization called Environmental Control Systems-Europe (ECS-Europe), and has named Philippe Ancelle the organization's vice president.

The newly formed organization aligns AlliedSignal's European environmental control systems manufacturing operations into one business with a regional focus and leading market position.

AlliedSignal's ECS-Europe organization comprises manufacturing and repair and overhaul facilities from both Normalair-Garrett Ltd. (NGL), which AlliedSignal acquired control of last year, and SECAN sites. The new entity will offer a wide range of products and full systems engineering capability from its manufacturing site in Yeovil, England, and Gennevilliers, France.

The business will also provide repair and overhaul services at its two major facilities in Bournemouth, England, and Vendome, France. It will operate as part of the Environmental Controls Systems (ECS) unit of AlliedSignal Aerospace Equipment Systems, which is based in Torrance, Calif.

Ancelle was previously chairman and chief executive officer of SECAN (Societe d'Etudes et de Constructions Aero-Navales), Europe's leading supplier of aircraft heat exchangers. AlliedSignal acquired SECAN in January 1997 after 10 years of joint ownership.

"Philippe has a long and distinguished track record at SECAN," said Al Hendershot, vice president and general manager of AlliedSignal's Environmental Control Systems business. "His proven leadership skills and knowledge of the European aerospace industry will be a great asset as we realign our European operations into a single, customer-focused entity."

Before joining SECAN in 1985, Ancelle was an executive vice president with Vibrachoc, an aerospace noise and vibration control company based in France. While there he also served as vice president, sales and marketing.

Ancelle holds an engineering degree from France's Ecole Centrale des Arts & Manufactures. He has also completed an executive training program at France's Institute of National Defense.

In Europe, AlliedSignal Aerospace is a leading manufacturer of propulsion engines, auxiliary power units, wheels and brakes, avionics, environmental control systems, engine control and accessories, and power generation and management systems.

Since 1995, AlliedSignal Aerospace has doubled the size of its workforce in Europe -- with 3,000 employees operating from more than 20 locations throughout the region -- and has tripled its revenue to more than $1.6 billion in 1998.

The parent company, AlliedSignal Inc., is an advanced technology and manufacturing company serving customers worldwide with aerospace and automotive products, chemicals, fibers, plastics and advanced materials.

Its 1998 sales were $15.1 billion. The company, a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, employs 70,500 people at 300 facilities in 40 countries. Information about AlliedSignal is available on the Internet at http://www.alliedsignal.com.
