Headpoint advises sale of leading Aerospace & Defence EMS provider

Headpoint Advisors has advised the shareholders of Kingfield Electronics, a specialist provider within the Aerospace and Defence sector, on its sale to Elite Electronic Systems, backed by Lonsdale Capital.

The transaction represents a key milestone for both businesses, combining Kingfield Electronics’ technical expertise, sector reputation and highly accredited operations with Elite Electronic Systems’ strategic ambition to broaden its service offering and diversify into high-integrity markets.

Operating within the Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) sector, Kingfield Electronics serves clients across Aerospace, Defence and other mission-critical industries. The Business has built its reputation on quality, reliability and compliance with stringent certification standards – essential in markets characterised by high barriers to entry and long programme cycles.

Led by Richard Benyahia with support from Joseph Lowe, the sale of Kingfield Electronics builds on Headpoint’s strong track record in Electronic Manufacturing Services, Advanced Manufacturing and Aerospace and Defence transactions.

“Headpoint’s hands-on advice and guidance throughout the process was pivotal in reaching such a successful outcome. They were able to understand and articulate the value of our business in the right way, genuinely demonstrating their EMS sector expertise in driving value throughout the deal. Their tenacity and focus really helped drive the process and get the deal over the line.”

Nick Taylor, Managing Director, Kingfield Electronics

“The sale of Kingfield Electronics (to Elite Electronic Systems) marks a significant milestone in the 40-year history of the business. We’re privileged to have supported the shareholders on the transaction and deliver a great outcome for our client. By joining Elite, Kingfield has a fantastic long-term home for the business with supportive investors looking to take the business to the next level. I wish them all every success together going forwards.”
