For the last 10+ years, the aerospace industry has attracted great interest from many investors, including private equity and strategic buyers. The level of competition for “clean” companies of size has intensified and the possibility to achieve attractive returns has become more challenging. This has created significant opportunity for individual investors who are willing to pursue smaller, more challenging deals that include significant risk and uncertainty, but not necessarily significant capital.

In this presentation, Tim Grein, President & CEO, WALBAR Engine Components,
will discuss his personal transition from Strategic Buyer, to an aerospace-focused PE fund and ultimately to operating WALBAR Engine Components, an independent manufacturer of aerospace engine components

The meeting is free for members ($30 for non-members). Guests may attend twice for free. For more information and to register to attend the meeting, go to http://adfazoct18.eventbrite.com.
