New Eagle Acquires Pi Innovo
New Eagle has formally announced on 03/02/2026 that it has acquired Pi Innovo, from Dana Incorporated. Pi Innovo, a designer and developer of open platform electronic control systems and control software, will be integrated into New Eagle – EMB's US provider of proprietary hardware and software controls technology for the automotive, commercial vehicle, off-highway, aerospace and defense industries. EMB are excited to now offer Pi Innovo Hardware and Software through our Exclusive Partnership agreement to represent New Eagle in the UK.
Founded in 2011 and headquartered near Detroit, Michigan, Pi Innovo designs embedded software solutions and electronic control units for electrification, clean fuel, and specialty mobility applications. Pi Innovo’s OpenECUTM product portfolio includes off-the-shelf and project-specific controllers with embedded software as well as application and systems engineering services that support commercial and speciality vehicle OEMs and Tier-1s.
New Eagle is an innovator in engineering solutions, also based in Michigan, delivering electronic systems and control software for automotive, commercial vehicle, off-highway, aerospace and defence industries. The platform focuses on mechatronic controls and supports developers with project management and supply chain coordination, its proprietary Raptor software toolchain and off-the-shelf hardware control solutions. New Eagle’s engineering teams bring extensive experience in designing and deploying electronic systems for electric vehicle propulsion and autonomy programs, guiding projects from initial concept through full production.
“We’re very excited to welcome the talented Pi Innovo team to New Eagle,” said John Stewart, Managing Partner at MiddleGround Capital, New Eagle's Parent Company. “This acquisition offers the opportunity to pursue growth initiatives while broadening the flexible, secure, open functional-safety solutions we provide to customers. It further reinforces our commitment to partnering with innovative technology and engineering companies aligned with our Mobility Thesis.”
“As a long-standing partner to OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers in commercial transportation and specialty mobility, Pi Innovo delivers open platform, configurable ECU solutions with integrated functional safety and cybersecurity capabilities for electric vehicle charging, clean fuel propulsion, and hybrid applications —helping customers accelerate development timelines and reduce time to market,” said Adrian Carnie, Head of Business Development at Pi Innovo. “We aim to enhance collaboration opportunities with customers in partnership with New Eagle by combining our next-generation ECU platforms with New Eagle’s flexible RaptorTM software toolchain and established controls capabilities. Together, we aim to broaden our range of functional safety and cybersecurity-enabled solutions, and to expand into new electrification programs, increasing the support we offer across the full lifecycle of controls development and integration.”
“We’re thrilled to welcome Pi Innovo to the New Eagle family,” said Kevin Alley, Chief Commercial Officer, and Parker Mosman, Chief Product Officer, at New Eagle. “Pi Innovo’s controls hardware, software, and engineering services complement New Eagle’s proprietary RaptorTM platform and aims to broaden the range of solutions we offer across both ICE and electrified vehicle programs, supports our focus on the low- to medium-volume automotive segment, and enhancing our ability to bring next-generation solutions to market, with the goal of enabling customers and providing solutions that meet their needs.”
With the acquisition of Pi Innovo, MiddleGround is continuing its focus in the mobility sector, building on its investment in New Eagle in 2021.
