United States Karman Space & Defense Files for United States NYSE IPO Targeting to Raise $450 Million at $3 Billion Valuation

23rd January 2025 | Hong Kong

United States Karman Space & Defense has filed for a United States NYSE IPO, with reports of the IPO targeting to raise $450 million at $3 billion valuation. Karman Space & Defense was established in 2022 by private equity firm Trive Capital partnership with senior leadership teams of Aerospace Engineering Corp and AMRO Fabricating Corporation. Announcement (2022): “Trive Capital (“Trive”), the Dallas-based private equity firm, has partnered with the senior leadership teams of Aerospace Engineering Corp. (“AEC”) and AMRO Fabricating Corporation (“AMRO”) to create Karman Space & Defense (“Karman” or the “Company”). The new platform is one of the largest independently owned suppliers focused on manufacturing complex systems for the space, missile, interceptor and hypersonic markets. The senior leadership teams of both businesses will continue as equity holders and executives at Karman. Karman operates three centers of excellence in greater Los Angeles, a key market for space and missile manufacturing, and maintains a presence in Washington D.C. and Huntsville, Alabama. The Company’s engineering capabilities and manufacturing footprint benefits from a comprehensive set of OEM approvals and extensive proprietary process IP, which has positioned it on some of the most critical portions of a propulsion system, including engine nozzles, nose cones, iso/ortho-grid body panels, titanium attachment hardware, and heat shields. The platform’s broad suite of capabilities includes upfront design, precision machining, large part forming, corking & bonding, complex welding, composite manufacturing (ablative and structural) and special processing. The formation of Karman creates a unique and comprehensive set of capabilities dedicated to the space sector, allowing for the Company to handle end-to-end manufacturing of the most complex sub-assemblies on current and next generation launch vehicles, missiles and hypersonics. The Company is diversified across nearly every major platform and prime in the niche, including Vulcan, GEM-63XL, Artemis, New Glenn, Atlas V, GBSD, GMLRS, THAAD and PAC-3, among many other programs.” Trive – Trive Capital is a Dallas, Texas based private equity firm with more than $4 billion of regulatory assets under management. Trive focuses on investing equity and debt in what it sees as strategically viable middle-market companies with the potential for transformational upside through operational improvement. We seek to maximize returns through a hands-on partnership that calls for identifying and implementing value creation ideas. The Trive team is comprised of seasoned investment professionals who have been involved in over 100 middle-market transactions representing in excess of $6 billion in revenue across Trive’s targeted industry sectors and situations.
