Ducommun Incorporated

Ducommun Incorporated designs, manufactures, and provides manufacturing solutions for high-performance products used in high-cost-of-failure applications. The company primarily serves the aerospace and defense (A&D), industrial, medical, and other industries. Ducommun offers innovative, value-added proprietary products and manufacturing solutions across its primary businesses: electronics, structures, and integrated solutions. The company operates through two main business segments: Electronic Systems and Structural Systems. Ducommun is the successor to a business founded in California in 1849 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1970. Acquisitions are a key part of its growth strategy, supplementing organic growth by expanding product and service offerings and diversifying its customer base and markets. For example, in April 2023, Ducommun acquired 100% of BLR Aerospace L.L.C. (BLR), a provider of aerodynamic systems for commercial and military rotary and fixed-wing aircraft. The initial purchase price for BLR was $115.0 million, net of cash acquired, with a gross aggregate of $117.0 million paid in cash at closing using the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility.
