\nFounder-led Firm to Acquire and Build Mission-Critical Aerospace and Defense Businesses Across the North American Industrial Base<\/p><\/a><\/a>

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cendry Capital today announced its launch as a founder-led private investment firm dedicated to acquiring, operating and growing mission-critical aerospace and defense companies. The firm enters the market with an established platform anchored by VAERO<\/b>, a Jacksonville, Florida based aerospace manufacturer serving military and commercial rotorcraft programs including the Sikorsky UH-60 Blackhawk, Boeing CH-47 Chinook and Bell AH-1Z Viper. Cendry\u2019s platform also includes VECCO<\/b>, a precision manufacturer specializing in custom CNC machining and turning of complex cast components, composite manufacturing, and metallic bonding serving commercial customers including Pratt & Whitney.<\/p>

\nCendry was founded on the belief that America's industrial strength is a strategic national asset \u2014 and that many of the companies responsible for the components, systems, and capabilities behind modern aerospace and defense platforms have been quietly underinvested for decades. These are often founder owned businesses facing ownership transitions, non-core divisions inside larger corporations, operationally challenged manufacturers, or strategically important suppliers that have lacked the capital, leadership or operational support to reach their full potential.<\/p>

\n\"America's industrial base is filled with exceptional companies that are too important to fail,\" said Brandon Stewart<\/b>, Founder and Managing Partner of Cendry Capital. \"They produce mission-critical products, support essential platforms, and hold decades of engineering expertise \u2014 yet many have been overlooked by traditional investors. Cendry was built to provide the long-term ownership, operational leadership, and strategic stewardship these businesses deserve.\"<\/p>

\nInvestment Focus<\/p>

\nCendry pursues both profitable, growing businesses and operationally challenged companies where focused execution can restore performance. Target situations include:<\/p>
