Lazard Exec Sees Growing M&A Opportunities
After record-breaking years in 2015 and 2016, the jury is still out on the amount of aerospace M&A that will take place in 2017.

European mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity is expected to increase, according to Michael Richter, managing director and head of Lazard’s Aerospace and Defense Investment Banking Group. The M&A firm’s latest transaction was the sale of Gardner Aerospace (Hall 2B Stand E140) to China’s Shaanxi Ligeance Mineral Resources. Gardner manufactures finished machined and fabricated parts, using both hard and soft metals.
