Identified an opportunity to build a leader in the aerospace and defense components supply chain by acquiring and integrating a portfolio of niche suppliers with strong market reputations and intellectual property positions.

Partnered with the former CFO of a prior JLL investment (McKechnie Aerospace) to form the company and together launched a search for acquisition targets. As the business scaled, JLL cultivated a management team consisting of nine additional executives we’d worked with previously.

Built the business through eight total acquisitions, six of which were sourced outside of a traditional intermediated process.
