据知情人士透露，私募股权公司Greenbriar Equity Group LP即将以超过18亿美元的价格收购射频和微波组件制造商Spectrum Control。
By David Carnevali Buyout firm Greenbriar Equity Group LP is nearing a deal to acquire radio frequency and microwave components-maker Spectrum Control for more than $1.8 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.
这家公司击败了其他工业公司，从竞争对手AEA Investors手中获得了Spectrum Control。如果没有任何最后一刻的障碍，交易可能在本周内宣布。不过他们要求匿名，因为这些信息属于商业机密。
The private equity firm prevailed over industrial companies to acquire Spectrum Control from rival buyout firm AEA Investors, the people said.
此外，还可能有其他竞标者出现，或者AEA也可能选择保留这家企业。Greenbriar和AEA的代表均拒绝置评。
A deal could be announced as soon as this week barring last minute snags, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Another bidder could still emerge or AEA could opt to keep the business, they added.
对于私募股权投资者来说，这次收购在航空航天和国防领域实属罕见，因为该领域的较大企业要么被更大的竞争对手收购，要么已经上市。
Representatives for Greenbriar and AEA declined to comment. Spectrum Control didn’t respond to a request for comment.
本月，GE Aerospace宣布以约120亿美元收购Consolidated Precision Products。
A Greenbriar deal would be a rare win this year for private equity investors in the aerospace and defense sector, where sizeable businesses have either been scooped up by larger competitors or have gone public.
其他企业如Arcline支持的Arxis Inc.和J.F. Lehman支持的Doncasters也在2026年上市，每家的估值都超过了10亿美元。
This month, GE Aerospace announced a roughly $12 billion purchase of Consolidated Precision Products. Other businesses, such as Arcline-backed Arxis Inc. and J.F. Lehman-backed Doncasters went public in 2026, with each rasing more than $1 billion.
根据AEA网站的信息，Spectrum Control的产品用于在恶劣环境中实现安全可靠的通信，主要应用于航空航天、国防和航天工业。
Spectrum Control’s products are used for secure and reliable communication in harsh environments, primarily in the aerospace, defense and space industries, according to AEA website.
