The separation results in New Textron becoming a pure-play aerospace and defense company aligned to its core franchises of Textron Aviation, Bell, and Textron Systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis planned separation creates greater clarity and focus for both businesses,\u201d said Lisa Atherton, chief executive officer of Textron. \u201cNew Textron will move forward as a pure-play aerospace and defense company positioned for higher growth, while industrial gains the independence to pursue strategies aligned with its distinct strengths \u2013 unlocking long-term value for all stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New Textron and industrial operate in distinct markets with unique business opportunities and investment requirements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough the board of directors\u2019 strategic planning process and our ongoing portfolio review, the board and the management team concluded that pursuing a separation of our industrial segment is the right approach to sharpen the strategic focus of Textron and support long-term value creation for shareholders,\u201d said Scott Donnelly, Textron\u2019s executive chairman.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Textron<\/p>\n<p><em>IC News delivers
