Wednesday, October 28, 2026 · first reported by Private Equity Wire and 2 others
I Squared Capital is in advanced talks to buy Orizon Aerostructures, a US aerospace manufacturer, in a deal that would value the business at about $2bn, according to Bloomberg as relayed by Private Equity Wire. Orizon, based in Kansas City, makes structural parts for commercial and military aircraft, among them Lockheed Martin's F-35 and Boeing's 737 Max.
Its backlog topped $3.1bn last year, supported by a multiyear Lockheed Martin contract. An announcement could come as soon as this week, but talks continue and nothing has been finalised.
