Profile

Loar Holdings Inc.LOARIndustrials

Makes highly engineered, mission-critical components for aircraft and aerospace-and-defense systems. The business operates as one aerospace-parts-and-supplies segment and pairs local brand autonomy with an acquisition-oriented strategy.

Designs, manufactures, and sells niche, highly engineered components for aircraft and aerospace-and-defense systems. Applications include flight controls, seating, water purification, sensors and switches, braking, ice protection, sealing, and motion and actuation.

Operations are reported as one aerospace-parts-and-supplies segment. A locally autonomous brand structure is supported by executive vice presidents, while the stated operating approach includes product launches, productivity, value pricing, talent, and acquisitions.

Sales focus almost exclusively on aerospace and defense and depend on customer relationships. Product qualification can take years, requiring testing and support plus financial contribution from system suppliers and OEMs.
