CHICAGO, September 20, 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CORE Industrial Partners ("CORE"), a manufacturing, industrial technology, and industrial services-focused private equity firm, announced today the acquisition of IDL Precision Machining ("IDL" or the "Company"), an engineering-focused manufacturer of highly complex precision components and assemblies primarily for the aerospace & defense end market, by CORE portfolio company Cadrex Manufacturing Solutions ("Cadrex").

Previously known as CGI Manufacturing Holdings, the recently relaunched Cadrex platform now includes nine business units with approximately 1.5 million square feet of manufacturing space and more than 2,000 employees across nine states as well as Mexico.

Founded in 1987, IDL offers CNC machining, including horizontal milling, vertical milling and turning, to serve customers from initial design and concept engineering through product development, prototyping and qualification to full-scale production. As a result, IDL is considered a key development partner for its customers, often securing single-source positions on prominent high-growth platforms and mission-critical applications in the aerospace & defense and industrial end markets. Within the aerospace & defense end market, IDL serves a variety of subsegments and applications, including C4ISR, electronic warfare, space, commercial avionics, aircraft controls, interiors and in-flight entertainment. Headquartered outside Seattle in Mukilteo, Washington, IDL operates an AS9100- and ISO 9001-certified and ITAR-registered facility with a fleet of over 50 machines.

Matthew Puglisi, Partner at CORE, said, "We believe IDL is a highly synergistic add-on to Cadrex. In addition to broadening the platform’s reach to include new, market-leading customers across numerous segments within the attractive aerospace & defense sector, the acquisition of IDL also provides incremental complex precision machining capabilities and a compelling new geographic location in the Pacific Northwest."

Robert Peha, Co-President of Sales and Engineering, said, "From the beginning, we’ve worked tirelessly to augment our unique, employee-driven culture with investments in state-of-the-art equipment, engineering and automation to provide the utmost levels of performance, quality and customer service for our valued customers. As a result of this new partnership with CORE and Cadrex, we’re excited for the next chapter in the Company’s long history."

Dean Handaly, Co-President of Finance and Production, said, "When Robert and I acquired IDL a decade ago, we knew we would one day need to find the right partner to not only serve as a steward for our talented employees, but also provide the resources to assist IDL with its next phase of growth. Given the exceptional fit with CORE and Cadrex, we’re confident we’ve found that partner."

Winston & Strawn LLP provided legal representation to Cadrex and CORE in the transaction.

Elon Musk is not a Chief Executive Officer like the others. Tesla's boss is atypical. The billionaire did not hesitate to relaunch the showdown with the U.S Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) despite a 2018 settlement with the regulator.

The stock market is often a game in reverse psychology. That is, when the mood gets too euphoric, it’s often a sign it is time to sell. Likewise, when sentiment hits the skids, that could be the ultimate signal the time is right to load up the truck. And on that subject, J.P. Morgan’s Marko Kolanovic thinks we are at – or at least near – the bottom.

The stock market sell-off of 2022 led to a sharp decline in the value of some high-profile names that once traded at (or near) the eye-popping market cap of $1 trillion. Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) are two big tech names that became trillion-dollar companies before the broad market sell-off dented their market caps significantly. Tesla, for instance, currently has a market cap of $840 billion.

The recent bear market has considerably reduced the appeal of most stocks. With many growth stocks down 75% or more from their highs, investors have increasingly looked to other investment vehicles.
