Frequently asked questions
What kind of aerospace and defense businesses does ADC Aerospace target?
The firm focuses on lower-middle-market precision manufacturers that produce components for defense and commercial aviation platforms. Typical targets include machining, fabrication, and assembly shops holding AS9100 certification, NADCAP accreditations, and long-term supplier agreements with primes or Tier-1 integrators. The emphasis is on businesses with proprietary qualifications that create barriers to entry, not commodity parts suppliers.
What differentiates ADC Aerospace from dedicated aerospace private equity funds?
The structural distinction is the absence of a fund lifecycle. Where aerospace-focused PE funds must exit investments within a defined window to return capital to LPs, ADC's permanent-capital approach allows it to hold manufacturing platforms through entire defense program cycles, which can last 30 years or more. This permits reinvestment strategies that are uneconomical under a typical PE model.
