Greybull Stewardship (Greybull), a private investment firm focused on helping established small businesses grow and scale, has acquired Genesys Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer and supplier of aerospace, commercial aviation and specialist industrial products.
Genesys Industries brings together three long-established American manufacturing brands under a single platform. Avia Marine Company has supplied aircraft interior hardware, latches, handles and electromechanical products to the commercial aviation sector since 1960. Latrobe Foundry, founded in 1933 and one of the oldest aluminium foundries still operating in the United States, produces cast and machined aluminium fittings and hardware. Sterner Screw Machine, established in 1986, manufactures high-volume precision fastener components for the aviation, fluid power, hydraulic and industrial automation markets.
Together, the businesses form a growing manufacturing platform producing a wide range of specialist components, from raw aluminium castings to certified flight hardware and proprietary product lines. Their products serve customers across aerospace, power generation, data centres, medical, maritime and emerging industrial sectors. Genesys Industries also holds sole-source positions for many of its components.
The acquisition comes amid sustained demand across the aerospace and defence sectors. Airbus and Boeing currently hold aircraft order backlogs stretching to around 12 years, while supply chains continue to face pressure to increase production capacity. At the same time, domestic sourcing remains a strategic priority for manufacturers throughout the industry.
Founder and CEO Tony Lyons has steadily developed the platform to meet these market requirements, and Greybull plans to build on that foundation. The firm is also actively pursuing further acquisitions of US-based precision manufacturers and suppliers to support its long-term growth strategy.
