A recession-resilient portfolio on rising tides

We acquire lower middle market manufacturers that have end markets in aerospace and defense—stable, mature markets with low volatility. We also take advantage of the rising tide in robotics and automation.

Forging the forefront of A&D manufacturing

We believe that when a family of companies come together and each becomes a master of its own niche, the result is greater than the sum of its parts. By offloading business functions to our central office, we enable each company to focus on its core competency, creating compounding advantages in the long run.

The following are our avenues of value creation.

01.

Robotics & Automation

With a strained skilled labor pool, automation and robotics become increasingly important. We drive internal growth by implementing the most innovative automation solutions to increase productivity and efficiency.
02.

The Toyota Way & Efficiency

Manufacturing businesses reap long-term benefits when they implement this world-renowned philosophy towards manufacturing. The Toyota Way is not just about lean and efficient manufacturing. It's a philosophy encompassing the most valuable resource of any company: its people.
