Talon Precision has acquired B & A Company, a Connecticut-based precision machining firm serving the commercial aerospace and defence sectors, as it expands its manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. aerospace supply chain.
The transaction, which closed on March 13, 2026, marks an early acquisition for Talon Precision, a recently launched company focused on building a precision manufacturing platform. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Founded in 1973 by Bert and Anita Schwarz, B & A Company manufactures tight-tolerance and complex metal components used in helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. Its products support systems including valves, sensors, brakes and landing gear, supplying aerospace original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and other defence-related customers.
Based in Milford, Connecticut, the company has operated for more than five decades within the state’s “Aerospace Alley” manufacturing corridor, a major hub for aerospace engineering and production.
Rick Schwarz, who has jointly led the company with his brother Ron Schwarz since 1999, said the business had grown alongside many of the region’s aerospace suppliers and OEMs and expressed confidence in Talon Precision’s plans for the company.
Joe Rios, Chief Operating Officer of Talon Precision, said the acquisition would build on B & A Company’s existing manufacturing capabilities through additional investment while supporting future growth and customer relationships.
The acquisition comes as aerospace and defence manufacturers continue investing in domestic supply chains to meet rising demand for commercial aircraft production and defence programmes. Precision machining companies play a critical role in producing highly engineered components that require strict quality standards and tight manufacturing tolerances.
Talon Precision said it plans to invest additional resources to expand B & A Company’s capabilities while creating opportunities for employees and supporting existing customers.
Touchstone Advisors acted as financial advisor to B & A Company on the transaction.
