L Squared Capital Partners announced that its portfolio company, BTX Precision, has acquired High Tech Solutions LLC (HTS), a Kansas City-based manufacturer specializing in aerospace components. This marks a significant milestone for BTX, being its 10th acquisition since the company’s inception, and reinforcing its status as the leading provider of advanced build-to-print components in the nation.
The acquisition of HTS enhances BTX’s value proposition by broadening its customer base and increasing program diversity across the aerospace and space sectors. HTS primarily offers sole-sourced products, positioning it well to benefit from the considerable investments being made in the ever-expanding space market.

Following this acquisition, BTX operates over 700,000 square feet of cutting-edge manufacturing space across 13 production units, employing around 1,200 dedicated professionals, including engineers, technicians, and operators. This extensive growth enables BTX to offer a wide range of advanced manufacturing capabilities, including milling, turning, laser micro-machining, 3D metal printing, aluminum vacuum brazing, and precision cleaning, as well as a comprehensive suite of value-added assembly services.
BTX’s advanced capabilities make it the preferred partner for clients in critical sectors, including aerospace and defense, space exploration, medical devices, and semiconductors. As BTX continues to integrate HTS into its operations, it is well-positioned to drive innovation and meet the increasing demands of the precision manufacturing industry, shaping the future of aerospace and beyond.
