Astronics Corporation (ATRO)

Aircraft cabin systems maker with test business. Read November 9, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025, filed February 26, 2026. Ranked 70 of the 275 Industrials companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

The filing states approximately 2,700 full-time employees at December 31, 2025, 78% in the United States, with the Aerospace segment 92% of revenue, so the workforce is read at aerospace products with a small test equipment share by description.

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 33% now, 46% at the end of 2027, 49% at the end of 2028, 50% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 50% desk work, 13% people work and 37% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 46% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 49% becomes checking a model's work and 4% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

What the filing says about AI

4 sentences in the filing name AI. The filing names AI in its risk factors: competitors may adapt more quickly to new technologies such as generative artificial intelligence, and customers, suppliers and subcontractors may use AI tools whose providers fall short of privacy and data protection standards.

• “Furthermore, our customers, suppliers and subcontractors may incorporate AI tools without disclosing this use to us, and the providers of these AI tools may not meet existing or rapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards with respect to privacy and data protection and may inhibit our or their ability to maintain an adequate level of service and experience.”
• “If we or our customers, suppliers or subcontractors experience an actual or perceived breach or privacy or security incident because of the use of AI, we may lose valuable confidential information and our reputation and the public perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed.”
• “Recent spending by hyperscalers and others to support AI is beginning to pressure supply chains for goods used to manufacture our products.”
