Analysis · TDG · Manufacturing
TransDigm is acquiring Prince & Izant, a manufacturer of highly engineered brazing alloys and specialty metal components, for $1.066 billion in cash. The deal adds roughly $360 million in annual revenue and fits TransDigm's playbook of buying proprietary, aftermarket-heavy aerospace suppliers. The acquisition comes just two weeks after TransDigm walked away from its $960 million Stellant Systems deal due to DOJ opposition, signaling the company is quickly redeploying capital into a less contentious target. The transaction is subject to U.S. regulatory approvals, but the target's smaller scale and less concentrated defense exposure may face fewer hurdles.
