AE Industrial Partners

About

AE Industrial Partners manages $9.2 billion in assets across private equity, aircraft leasing, and venture capital strategies focused on mission-critical markets in aerospace, national security, and industrial services. The firm targets companies with differentiated capabilities and market positions operating across long product lifecycles, employing thematic investment approaches to drive value creation through disciplined execution and active partnership with management teams.

The firm operates through three primary investment vehicles. Its private equity platform invests in established businesses within its core markets, while its aircraft leasing business provides dedicated capital for this specialised asset class. AE Ventures, the venture capital platform, deploys capital into early-stage companies addressing critical challenges facing aerospace, national security, and industrial sectors, extending the firm's investment horizon across development and scaling phases.

Headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, with an additional office in Washington, D.C., AE Industrial Partners combines deep investment, operating, and technical expertise to identify and execute acquisitions in highly specialized markets. The firm's geographic footprint and dual-location strategy reflect both its operational focus and proximity to policy and defence-sector decision-making centres.
