AE Industrial Partners-backed Moeller Aerospace is exploring a sale through financial advisor Lazard, said two sources familiar with the matter.

The Wixom, Michigan-based company generates around USD 20m in EBITDA, the two sources said. They added that books have not yet been distributed to prospective buyers.

Moeller is likely to attract both strategics and private equity firms, the two sources said.

The company manufactures highly engineered, flight-critical jet engine components, including flow-path hardware such as turbine blades and nozzles.

This news service reported in May 2023 that Moeller was working with financial advisor RBC Capital Markets to look at a possible sale earlier in 2023 but held off on pursuing a process. That report noted Moeller could decide to explore a sale again in the near future.

AE Industrial Partners acquired Moeller Aerospace in 2016 for an undisclosed amount.

AE Industrial Partners and Lazard declined to comment. Moeller Aerospace did not return a request for comment.
