Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc.’s (MMC - Free Report) business, Oliver Wyman, recently announced that it is combining its aviation brand CAVOK and SeaTec Consulting Inc. into Oliver Wyman Vector. SeaTec Consulting caters to aerospace, defense, aviation and transportation industries. The move is expected to boost Oliver Wyman’s position in the aviation space.

Oliver Wyman Vector is set to offer its technical prowess across services like engineering, technical consulting and digital expertise in aviation, defense, aerospace and rail industries. The new name and visual identity will be available on the company’s website, marketing materials and social media platforms.
Oliver Wyman contributed 36% to the total consulting revenues of MMC in 2023. It reported underlying revenue growth of 8% in 2023. Oliver Wyman is a faster-growing business for MMC. It expects this business to register growth in mid-to-high-single digits over the long term. The company often pursues high-quality acquisitions to expand inorganically. It expects to spend approximately $4.5 billion of capital on acquisitions, share repurchases and dividends.
Per Oliver Wyman’s Global Fleet and MRO Market Forecast 2024-2034 report, the aviation market is expected to grow 28% to 36,400 aircraft by 2034.
