Ascent Aerospace combines assembly line integration and factory automation with our heritage tooling businesses, to provide turnkey production solutions from one, vertically-integrated organization. We employ more than 800 industry professionals across 11 locations, with five factories and two dedicated engineering centers of excellence. But, at Ascent, we are much more than the sum of our parts. We pull together the unparalleled skills and knowledge of the best-respected experts in their fields, to provide complete solutions, without ever compromising on excellence. We offer the best of both worlds: the know-how of niche businesses and the scale and capacity of a global company. Together our businesses, each an industry leader in its own right, cover the full spectrum of automation technology. Whatever the need or application, we provide affordable, right-sized solutions. As a vertically integrated organization, we rarely have to set foot outside Ascent to procure key elements of the supply chain. It gives us greater control over timing and schedules, allows for 100% accountability, and avoids costly mark-ups. It’s no surprise, then, that our customers include the biggest and best names in aerospace. Virtually every western commercial aircraft in production today is made using our technology, machines and systems.

Nimbus invests in companies that are at a crossroads in their development. With approximately 25 companies under management—each generating between EUR 30-300 million in sales—we operate across most European markets. We focus on businesses with a healthy core activity and untapped potential that can be realized through strategic development, operational improvements and/or growth initiatives. Our approach is hands-on; we always have an active involvement in every company we invest in. Our team of 20 managers bring financial, operational or more general management skills, enabling us to drive meaningful transformation. Nimbus does not adhere to a fixed investment horizon. We take a flexible approach, with holding periods typically ranging from 5 to 7 years, but we remain open to both long-term and shorter-term engagements. With over two decades of experience, Nimbus has a strong track record in corporate carve-outs, transformational successions, turnarounds and special situations.
