American Securities announced it has completed the sale of MW Components, a manufacturer of highly engineered specialty fasteners, springs, and precision metal components, to Rosebank Industries in a transaction valued at approximately $950 million.
Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, MW Components manufactures mission-critical fasteners, springs, and precision metal components for customers across aerospace and defense, electronics, semiconductors, medical, energy, agriculture, and other industrial markets.
American Securities acquired MW Components in 2017 and worked with management to transform the business through strategic acquisitions, operational improvements, and investments in talent, equipment, and technology. During the firm’s ownership, MW Components expanded its presence in high-growth sectors including aerospace and defense, electronics, and semiconductors.
The company also strengthened its digital capabilities through the development of its proprietary SNAP software platform, designed to facilitate rapid quoting activity. Over the course of American Securities’ ownership, MW Components completed nine add-on acquisitions that expanded its product portfolio, manufacturing capabilities, and commercial reach throughout North America.
These initiatives helped evolve MW Components into a larger platform operating across three business divisions: Fasteners, Springs, and Precision Components.
Today, MW Components serves more than 14,000 OEMs, distributors, and aftermarket customers through multiple sales channels. The company operates 24 manufacturing facilities across the United States, employs more than 1,750 people, and manages more than 24 industry-leading brands.
American Securities, founded in 1994, is a private equity firm focused primarily on North American industrial and business-to-business services companies. The firm manages approximately $23 billion in assets and partners with companies generating between $200 million and $2 billion in annual revenue.
KEY QUOTE:

Working closely with Tom Amato and the broader management team, the company strengthened its leadership position, expanded into strategic end markets, and built differentiated operational and commercial capabilities that position the business for continued success in this next chapter with Rosebank.”
