Transaction rationale
Prior to partnering with Blue Sea Capital, Sunvair was a second-generation, family-owned business. The family sought a committed and impactful steward that would respect Sunvair’s 60-year history and build upon its legacy of outstanding quality.
Investment highlights
Working with a newly recruited leadership team, we built a diversified MRO services provider through capability expansion and strategic acquisitions. We first invested in a greenfield state-of-the art landing gear facility that has earned outstanding marks for its environmental stewardship. Subsequent strategic acquisitions of Aviation Avionics & Instruments, Scott Instrument, Advanced Tooling and Mingo Aerospace added additional capabilities. Over the span of our investment, Sunair’s revenue has grown 5 times and its earnings have risen 7 times.
