Sell-side advisory

Boston – Alantra acted as exclusive financial advisor to Aeroservicios, a leading supplier of new and refurbished ground support equipment (GSE), on its sale of a majority stake to CSI Leasing, a global equipment leasing company and subsidiary of Tokyo Century Corporation (TSE:8439). 

Founded nearly 30 years ago by current CEO Gabriel Serrano along with his father, Aeroservicios has built a strong reputation serving aviation service providers, airlines, GSE resellers, FBOs, MROs, and manufacturers across North America, the Caribbean, and South America. Aeroservicios’ strategic alliance with CSI Leasing will enable Aeroservicios to continue to scale internationally while adding leasing capabilities to its portfolio of offerings to better serve new and existing customers and enable CSI to expand its GSE offerings while offering more competitive lease pricing. 

Wade Aust, Managing Partner at Alantra, said: “We’re proud to have supported the Aeroservicios team through this successful process and helped deliver a strategic outcome that positions the business for long-term growth. This transaction highlights Alantra’s deep expertise in the GSE market and our track record advising founder-led businesses on transformational transactions with large multinational strategic groups.” 

“It has been a pleasure to work with the Aeroservicios team throughout this transaction.  The combination of Aeroservicios and CSI creates the most comprehensive offering in the GSE industry and it will be exciting to see the respective expertise of both businesses drive continued growth,” said David Waldstein, Managing Director at Alantra. 

This is Alantra’s second transaction in the GSE industry this year after advising TLD Group SAS on its acquisition of Wollard International. These deals add to our recent momentum in the aerospace and defense and industrials sectors following transactions including the sale of Turbine Services Limited to Ethos Energy Group Limited, the sale of Ethos Energy Group Limited to One Equity Partners and the sale of Industrial Service Solutions’ Inspection Services segment to Element Materials Technology.
