COMPANY HISTORY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES ACQUISITION CRITERIA OPERATING COMPANIES LEADERSHIP TEAM CONTACT TAILWIND Strategic and Focused We create value and build great businesses when our core competencies can be applied to their critical needs Successful Track Record with a Focus on Growth Tailwind Technologies Inc. is the parent company of Hartzell Propeller and Hartzell Engine Technologies. The corporation has been an active acquirer of companies and product lines since 2004. We are organized to facilitate growth both organically and through acquisitions. Our platform companies are held as subsidiaries and operate as stand-alone businesses with independent management teams. We continue to seek strategic add-ons to our existing operating companies and desire to add a third platform company that has the ability to grow organically and/or by add-on acquisitions. What makes Tailwind unique is our deep bench of operating talent mated to our portfolio of core competencies that can be applied with the speed, flexibility and efficiency that a privately held business can deliver. That ability to leverage our talent and skills alongside the operating company’s management team has been a successful formula. This approach keeps management empowered and maintains the culture of the company. We pride ourselves on creating a smooth transition to new ownership since many of our acquisitions have been founder or founder family owned. Company History Investment Strategies Acquisition Criteria OPERATING COMPANIES Sustained Success Our objective is to make direct, long-term investments in value-added manufacturing companies that complement the existing portfolio or leverage core competencies. Since 1987, Tailwind Technologies has engaged in numerous transactions and has been on both sides of the process. Tailwind’s approach is to invest for the long term to make sure each business is positioned for continued success.
