HONG KONG: ACL Airshop Vice Chairman Steve Townes, who is also CEO/Founder of Ranger Aerospace, caused positive reactions as Chair/Moderator and a key speaker for the heavily attended SUSTAINABILITY segment of IATA World Cargo Symposium. His bold closing statement was a powerful "Trumpet Call to Action" aimed toward the top-end of the world's Capital Markets, including sovereign wealth funds and other giant investment pools. He called SAF Fuel production a new global turning-point industry with "UNICORN" metrics for long-term impressive growth. Very challenging but exciting pathways ahead toward "Net Zero by 2050." #Sustainability #SAF #IATA #CallToAction #Aviation #NetZero2050 #NothingIsImpossible!

About us
Ranger Aerospace is a private equity management holding company that teams with larger institutional investors to acquire, grow, and improve companies in aviation services, aerospace sub-specialties, airfield operations, logistics, and govt outsourcing. Since its founding in 1997 in Greenville SC, Ranger Aerospace has managed and led over $650 Million of buy/sell events via classic leveraged buyouts and internal growth investments. In 2012 we sold our Govt Services platform to a $1B strategic buyer; that highly successful venture entailed 3 acquisitions, 1 internal start-up, and an overseas joint venture. It yielded 60% "IRR" and 5X Equity in the worst Recession in 50 years. We have renewed interests in precision mnfg, specialty MRO services, components overhaul, civilian airfield operations, air cargo services, and the many trades and technologies that support aerospace and aviation. We are seeking additional acquisitions as platform add-on's for our consolidation strategy. Other sectors of interest include aftermarket spares, avionics/instruments, engines, and engineering services. We acquired again in the newest Ranger growth platform in late 2014, with an excellent MRO company specialized on Airliners Interiors. In early 2016 we acquired a global company which manufactures, sells, leases, repairs, and logistically manages ULD's for the Air Cargo industry (pallets, nets, straps, containers, Bluetooth, and other cargo products), with op's at over half of the world's Top 100 air cargo hubs. We seek to aggressively grow these Ranger businesses through organic techniques, LEAN initiatives, facilities expansions, internal investments, People Initiatives, and add-on acquisitions, while scouting for more deals in other aerospace segments.
