Manufacturer, Designer & Molder of Complex Tooling, Molds & Processes for Aerospace & Defense Sectors

Our client developed technologies for producing ceramic cores and investment casting tooling, along with proprietary methods that cut manufacturing cycle times sharply. These changed the way gas turbines are made, allowing highly complex geometries that had not previously been possible.

Although the technologies were sought by some of the largest jet engine manufacturers in the world, the best choice was a partnership with the customer the technologies had been developed for. Pratt & Whitney, a division of RTX, completed the acquisition together with two members of the client's management team.

That allowed the founder and majority shareholder to achieve the exit he wanted while creating an ownership opportunity for the managers who had built the process with him.

Valuing companies with industry-disruptive technologies and navigating competing shareholder interests and desired exit timelines are core strengths of Accelerated.
