International Practice
A Focus on the Global Economy
From our inception, First Equity has been a company with a truly global
focus. Our earliest transactions and more than half of our activities
to date have been international in nature. While few industries are as
international as aerospace and defense, we anticipate that our industry
will only become more global.
We stand ready to guide you with objective information, market intelligence
and insight designed to help you compete in today's increasingly global
business environment. We understand the complex network of economic interdependency
that characterizes the aerospace industry and offer unparalleled knowledge
of world markets.
As globalization forces continue to redefine our industry, First Equity
will continue to serve you with advice from an international perspective.

Interturbine
With operations in the Netherlands, Germany, Singapore, and the
US, Interturbine was one of the world's most respected independent
engine component repair companies. Looking to craft a strategy that
would ensure a strong competitive position for the future, Interturbine
turned to First Equity. First Equity recommended divesting the flight
repair group from the rest of the business so Interturbine could
refocus on high-value proprietary processes and position itself
as a premier manufacturer of OEM aircraft engine parts. The resulting
sale allowed Pratt & Whitney to strengthen their engine component
repair business while funding Interturbine's growth. |

Galaxy Aerospace
Israel Aircraft Industries Ltd., A Tel Aviv based, state owned company,
looked to First Equity for advice when they wished to find a joint
venture partner with whom to develop a super-midsize business jet.
In one of our most challenging assignments, First Equity successfully
found that partner by bringing in the Pritzker organization. The
result? The Galaxy Aerospace Corporation. This joint venture teams
IAI - one of the world's most sought-after producers of military
and commercial aerospace technology - with the unparalleled financial
resources, reputation, and business acumen of the Pritzker organization.
First Equity is proud to have brought together two such prestigious
groups, laying the groundwork for new high performance, low cost business
aircraft. |
