TransDigm Group Incorporated announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Prince & Izant, a portfolio company of Industrial Growth Partners, for approximately $1.066 billion in cash, including certain tax benefits.
Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, Prince & Izant is a leading global designer and manufacturer of highly engineered brazing alloys and specialty metal components used across a range of advanced performance and high cost-of-failure applications. The Company primarily supports the aerospace and defense, aeroderivative turbine, and transportation end markets. Within aerospace and defense, select applications include aircraft engine fuel nozzles and rocket engines. Additionally, but to a lesser degree, the Company also serves the medical and general industrial end markets.
The Company derives the majority of its revenue from the aftermarket and supports a large installed base globally. Prince & Izant‘s products are highly proprietary in nature and support end customers through the Company’s advanced metallurgy, precise chemistry requirements, and deep formulation expertise which are critical to supporting the evolving performance requirements in the markets which it serves.
