An affiliate of Angeles Equity Partners has acquired a majority interest in Technique, a Jackson, Michigan-based provider of complex, high-mix, low-volume metal fabrication and prototyping solutions. The transaction brings new ownership to a business that has grown into a strategic supplier to blue-chip OEMs. It now aims to broaden its capabilities, scale its infrastructure, and deepen its reach across sectors such as aerospace and defense, power generation, and motorsports.
Founded in 1991, Technique operates six advanced manufacturing facilities totaling about 500,000 square feet across Michigan and North Carolina. The Company provides prototyping and ultra-low volume production services spanning metal forming, stamping, tube bending, complex welding, assembly, and finishing. Its combination of engineering expertise and rapid turnaround has positioned it as a trusted partner for customers requiring highly complex components and integrated assemblies.
Angeles Equity Partners intends to support Technique’s next phase of expansion by investing in operational systems, advanced manufacturing technologies, and strategic initiatives to enhance capacity, efficiency, and technological leadership. Founder and CEO Ronnie Johncox will continue leading the Company alongside the existing management team.
The acquisition also reflects Angeles’ broader strategy of partnering with niche manufacturing companies that are benefiting from industry tailwinds. Technique stands to benefit from renewed investment in domestic manufacturing, the reshoring of critical industrial capacity, and rising demand in defense and energy infrastructure.
Advisors to the transaction included Honigman LLP as legal counsel and Stifel as financial advisor to Angeles, with Massumi + Consoli providing legal counsel related to the debt financing. Kerr, Russell, and Weber, PLC and Apollo Sports and Entertainment Law Group served as legal counsel to Technique, and BeaconView Advisors acted as financial advisor. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
