VERTICALLY INTEGRATING AEROSPACE
Graybird Capital has a team with experience in the Aerospace industry necessary to create a vertically integrated supply chain onshore here in the United States. Our analysis indicates that as the Aerospace Industry looks to onshore manufacturing capabilities to decrease reliance on foreign countries, there will be a significant increase in manufacturing opportunities for specialized components. Our target investments complement each other in producing high quality aerospace products at every single tier in the industry. By merging companies from Tier 1 to Tier 5, each acquisition will have the opportunity to communicate with Graybird held companies and reducing overall costs for end users.
