Private equity firm Liberty Hall Capital Partners LP announced this week its acquisition of aircraft parts maker AIM Aerospace. AIM concentrates on the commercial aerospace industry, manufacturing aircraft parts made from composite materials for clients that include Boeing and Kawasaki. According to Law360, the $220 million deal is the latest in a series of aerospace acquisitions by Liberty Hall, which focuses on the global aviation and defense sectors.

The firm said in a statement that a trend toward the use of composite materials, which help increase weight and fuel efficiency in aircraft, made AIM a strategic investment as Liberty Hall works toward building a “fully-integrated, diversified composites supplier.”

Liberty Hall was advised in the deal by a team of Pillsbury lawyers that includes partners John Jensen, Stephan Becker, Kimberly Mann and associate Meghan Doherty.
