Founded in 1965, and located in Manchester, CT, Spartan Aerospace manufactures machined aeroengine components, sheet metal stampings, brackets, fabrications, and assemblies for the commercial and defense aerospace industries, serving both original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and maintenance repair operations (MRO).

Spartan Aerospace, its 70,000 square foot facility and 80+ employees, will become the latest addition to Enjet Aero’s expanding set of capabilities focused on providing the aeroengine OEM’s with the capabilities and capacity needed to satisfy their near-term recovery constraints as well as their long-term strategic solutions to their supply base challenges. The skilled and talented team of industry experts from Spartan Aerospace will also add to the existing bench strength of Enjet Aero, providing a unique set of production capabilities and customer platforms to further enhance the breadth of products and solutions Enjet Aero offers its customers. The combined capabilities and new synergies make Spartan Aerospace an attractive and strategic fit for Enjet Aero. Spartan Aerospace co-founder Allan Lehrer will continue to lead the Enjet Aero Manchester operation.

“The Enjet Aero organization has a proven track record of success in the aeroengine component market, and we’re excited to be joining a team that is solely focused on working, investing, and growing in that sector of the aerospace and defense market. We’ve known the Enjet Aero leadership team for quite some time and think they will be the perfect partner to help grow our operations in the future,” said Allan Lehrer, President of Spartan Aerospace.

The Spartan Aerospace acquisition will support Enjet Aero’s ongoing strategy of being a world-class aeroengine component manufacturer for the industry and delivering on its promise of being ready, willing, and able to meet the expanding strategic needs of their customers.

“A large part of our strategic plan is focused on growing our customer base and platforms by expanding our capabilities and increasing our product offerings. The addition of Spartan Aerospace will help us achieve this with greater capacity and a robust set of production capabilities that include expanding Enjet’s proficiencies in highly complex fabricated and machined assemblies,” said Bruce Breckenridge, Chief Executive Officer for Enjet Aero. “I’m thrilled to see our team grow with the addition of Spartan’s talented workforce and welcome them to the Enjet family.”

Fred Rossetti, Managing Director at TrueNorth, led TrueNorth on the transaction. He was supported by a TrueNorth team including Jeff Gaynor, Managing Director and Ani Vajjah, Senior Associate.

Mr. Lehrer further commented, “We are very pleased with our choice of TrueNorth as the advisor to market, negotiate, and bring our transaction to closing. TrueNorth’s guidance through this process has been immeasurable and their attention to detail greatly appreciated. They truly understood our goals and the type of organization we were desiring as an acquirer.”
