Today, we are pleased to announce that Axillon Aerospace, formerly the Composites and Fuel Containment Division of Parker Hannifin, is a new standalone business within the portfolio of SK Capital Partners.
SK Capital is a private investment firm with a disciplined focus on high-growth industrial sectors, including specialty materials, specialty ingredients and life sciences. SK Capital’s specialty materials experience includes investments in the carbon fiber and polymer value chains, and the portfolio has an increasing presence in serving the aerospace & defense sector. SK Capital is investing in Axillon Aerospace to build on the company’s legacy of innovation, quality, and differentiated capabilities towards becoming the leader in this industry.
As the CEO of Axillon Aerospace, I wanted to be the first to share this exciting news and communicate our focus as a company built on strength through innovation. Axillon Aerospace is a leading provider of complex, highly engineered composite and polymer solutions for demanding commercial and defense applications.
Comprised of six, purpose-built centers of excellence throughout the USA and Mexico, each strategically focused on serving specific markets across aerospace engines and airframes, as well as munitions, radomes, antennas and fuel containment.
As we have done for many years, Axillon Aerospace will continue to be a proud supplier to you and your mission. We are fully committed to meeting the high expectations and standards you have come to expect with a focus on quality, delivery and operational excellence, furthered by key investments in our people and facilities to be the world’s preeminent composites aerospace company. The name “Axillon” comes from this commitment and our rich history, and blends the two words Axial, for multi-axis composites process technology, and Echelon, a formation of troops or aircraft, with each unit in the formation progressing ahead.
In the coming weeks, we look forward to communicating this renewed focus and we are eager to present our combined capabilities across our centers of excellence. Please know, the existing legal entities which you are contracted with and their associated financial information will remain the same. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about Axillon Aerospace please do not hesitate to contact me, or your current representative.
Sincerely,
Kevin Vicha
Chief Executive Officer
