Ontic is the leading licensing partner to aerospace and defence original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for complex, flight-critical parts, playing a vital role in ensuring the reliability and availability of aircraft fleets across the defence, civil, business and general aviation markets.
Backing a differentiated business model
Initially investing in Ontic in 2019, our value-creation plan focused on accelerating the growth of its distinct licensing business model by increasing investment in new licences, people and data and analytics capabilities. This resulted in Ontic almost tripling earnings in five years. In 2024, we led a recapitalisation of Ontic, joined by new minority equity partners. Strong global demand has now led to a record order book and healthy pipeline of new and larger licensing opportunities. There is also potential for growth through M&A.
Working with CVC to establish Ontic as an independent entity has allowed us to start realising its potential and achieve transformative growth over the last five years. The future is equally exciting.
