Garrett Aviation
Following a successful management buyout, the owners of this Phoenix
based engine repair and overhaul company were looking to ensure
the future success of their enterprise in an industry fraught with
rapid change and consolidation. They engaged First Equity to develop
a comprehensive study of market trends and the competitive environment,
along with recommendations on growth strategies. Following First
Equitys advice, Garrett decided to join forces with UNC, Inc.,
a larger engine repair and overhaul company. This consolidation
trend continued: UNC was purchased by GE Aircraft Engines, who subsequently
purchased UNC competitor Greenwich Aviation Services. Thanks to
First Equity's guidance, Garrett management and shareholders made
a strong return on their investment while capitalizing on industry
dynamics.
