Dowty Information Systems has been renamed as Dowty Systems Integration Ltd as part of the Dowty Group’s search for a new corporate identity; the company says that divestments of mining equipment and industrial hydraulics have enabled Dowty to concentrate on the four core businesses of aerospace, electronic systems, information technology, and polymer engineering; Dowty Systems Integration is seen to reflect more accurately the company’s activities which are increasingly oriented towards large system integration projects; Dowty has recently won an UKP8.75m communications and systems contract with the Royal Automobile Club, a UKP1.7m contract with Kent Police, and a mobile data contract with the West Midlands Fire Brigade worth UKP1.25m.
