This episode features a specialized aerospace and defense parts distributor generating $8.2M in revenue and approximately $1.9M in adjusted EBITDA, with an asking price of about 4.2x earnings. The company focuses exclusively on exporting U.S.-manufactured military-grade components—such as connectors, switches, and precision hardware—to international defense and aerospace customers. Its lean operating model and compliance infrastructure allow it to maintain unusually high margins for a distributor, approaching 25%.

Key Highlights :
