Vance Street Capital LLC (“Vance Street”), a Los Angeles-based private equity firm, today announced the rebranding of its collective group of general aviation and business aviation brands to Victor Sierra Aviation Holdings LLC (“Victor Sierra”) (www.victor-sierra.com), as well as its latest acquisition of Aviation Products Systems, Inc. (“APS”).
Victor Sierra Formation
Vance Street originally formed the entity now known as Victor Sierra in October 2021 when they partnered with the founder of McFarlane Aviation (“McFarlane”). McFarlane is a diversified manufacturing company that specializes in designing and manufacturing a broad array of proprietary, new and aftermarket replacement components for the general and aviation sectors. In 2022, Vance Street also partnered with the founders of Tempest Aero Group (“TAG”), adding another key pillar to the Victor Sierra family of brands. TAG is a designer and manufacturer of proprietary new and replacement components, with specialties such as high-wear ignition, filtration, fuel and pneumatic components.
To complement McFarlane and TAG, Victor Sierra has made three additional tuck-in acquisitions, including:
· Airforms, a founder-owned designer of PMA parts focused on engine baffles.
· Great Planes Fuel Metering, a founder-owned FAA-certified repair station focused on providing MRO services on Continental fuel injection systems.
· PMA Products, a founder-owned supplier of PMA parts predominantly focused on bearings, bushings, and fuel nozzles.
Nic Janneck, Partner at Vance Street Capital, stated, “The collective group of Victor Sierra brands are known for engineering, manufacturing and distributing exceptional aftermarket products. We believe the formation of Victor Sierra enables the collective group of brands to share key resources, elevate the core competencies of the brands we’ve partnered with, and continue to expand through further acquisitions. We are excited to expand our portfolio of products to better service our customers.”
