“Working with AE Industrial has been a truly outstanding experience. Not only have we benefited from their financial resources, but the access we’ve had to strategic and operational resources within AE Industrial and across their portfolio of companies has been transformational. And AE Industrial’s experienced Advisory Board has provided us with broad and deep technical insights and customer intelligence. Through it all, AE Industrial has strongly supported maintaining our company culture, which has been our top priority.”

“With AE Industrial’s support, Gryphon executed an acquisition plan to better align our capabilities with DOD’s digital strategy. We successfully integrated five companies in less than 18 months, building our engineering capabilities with digital, cloud, and predictive analytics faster than we could have grown it organically. AE Industrial’s knowledge of the aerospace and defense sector, coupled with their resources and vision, accelerated Gryphon’s position as a market leader.”

“I was initially attracted to AE Industrial by the firm’s passion for aviation and defense, combined with a focus on culture within their companies and teams. As part of the AE Industrial family, we’ve maintained our entrepreneurial philosophy and innovative approach that has been fundamental to our success, while gaining the support of an experienced team with deep A&D ties to help us identify new growth opportunities. G.S. Precision’s acquisition of SMC Aerospace is a good example of an acquisition which we would not have been able to achieve alone.”
