The Company has over 25 years of specialized manufacturing experience with particular expertise in hot forming titanium and other exotic metals, as well as in assembling value-added sub-systems.

The Situation

With the rebound in the aerospace industry, the Company was experiencing rapid growth in orders for commercial as well as defense-related aircraft parts. DynaBil’s financial results were exceeding projections and order backlog was at a record high. The shareholders were seeking to capitalize on the situation and diversify their invested capital while also preserving the ability to participate in the continued growth of the business.

The Transaction

KPMG Corporate Finance ran a competitive process to identify an acquirer that would enable the shareholders to achieve their objectives and position the Company for future growth. KPMG Corporate Finance developed significant interest through a controlled auction, coordinated management meetings and due diligence, and assisted the Company in successfully negotiating a transaction with two leading private equity investors, DeltaPoint Capital Management, LLC and HSBC Capital (USA) Inc. In addition, Pine Street Capital Partners, L.P. provided mezzanine capital and Citizens Bank N.A. provided senior debt.
