Metz Lewis represented SFS Group in its acquisition of Heartland Precision Fasteners, Inc.

Based in New Century, Kansas, Heartland manufactures high-grade, externally threaded fasteners for aircraft structures and propulsion systems used in commercial and military aircraft. Heartland is approved by all major aircraft manufacturers and operates a fully integrated production facility.

SFS Group is a global manufacturer of precision components, mechanical fastening systems, and procurement solutions, with operations across Asia, Europe, and North America. The transaction, which recently closed after clearing U.S. regulatory review, marks SFS’s entry into the North American aerospace market.

The Metz Lewis deal team was led by George Thomas, Leilani Costa, Charles Lipp, and Jacqueline Stalnaker.

Congratulations to our friends at SFS and to the Heartland team on this successful transaction!
