The former CEO of a middle market aerospace company wished to pursue a business plan focused on manufacturing electronic components, a market niche where M&A Capital had past experience.
The CEO approached M&A Capital to both assist in developing the operating strategy and raise capital to execute the plan.
The operating strategy included making acquisitions in a niche market in the aerospace industry, which required identification of a strong financial partner to enhance the new venture’s credibility as a buyer.
During the initial months of M&A Capital’s engagement, we assisted the CEO in identifying multiple acquisition targets that had intellectual property sufficient to act as a platform company.
After identifying several hundred targets, we worked with the CEO to identify and meet with the most suitable.
Ultimately, the CEO selected Symetrics due to the company's ability to produce quality electronic components, long term customer and supplier relationships and strong employee culture.

The entrepreneur elected to partner with Warburg Pincus to create Extant Components Group due to the firm's experience and deep relationships in the aerospace industry, and ability to act as a value-added partner to build the business.
Warburg Pincus agreed to provide a significant line of equity from Warburg Pincus Private Equity X, L.P., a $15 billion fund, to support the Company in its acquisition strategy and long-term growth plans.
Shortly thereafter, the Company closed on its first platform acquisition, Symetrics Industries.
