““Carving out the Simulation Visual Products division from Pilkington Aerospace, we partnered with Aerospace Equities and they were able to successfully guide us through the transaction, find a great fit for the business with the Nordam Group, and at a valuation where we could all agree. The AE team listened to the important factors and concerns about finding new ownership and truly brought the right buyer to the table. I recently heard the unit had its best month ever, so I’d say operations seem to still be going strong long after the changing of the guard. I suggest to CEO’s considering an exit, to ensure they have a specialist M&A advisor in your industry working for you from the beginning. Turns out, Tony and I still connect on our car collections years after the deal.”
- Joe McCollough, CEO of Pilkington Aerospace ”
““Aerospace Equities approached us on behalf of the Air Ready MRO Services team, and even though we were the prospect for the firm’s client, we were treated fairly throughout the entire transaction and feel we secured a favorable deal for all parties involved. When the time comes for our next transaction, we won’t be going it alone. There is a lot to worry about during the process and my advice to owners preparing for a transaction is to secure good counsel and don’t try to do it all on your own.”
- Michael Mills, Principal of Broadwing Aviation
