FDH Aero adds to its supply chain with acquisition of Madison Aerospace

By Michelle Froese | September 3, 2021

Madison Aerospace is FDH’s eighth acquisition, and sixth completed since Audax Private Equity invested in the company in 2017.

FDH Aero, an aerospace and defense products distributor serving aircraft production and aftermarket supply chains, recently acquired Madison Aerospace.

This acquisition broadens FDH’s reach with additional product offerings in the OEM segment, serving a diversified customer base.

Madison Aerospace is a fully certified aerospace hardware distributor and provider for high-performance AN, MS, NAS, and per-print specials, as well as specialty fasteners and aircraft parts.

“The addition of Madison is a terrific strategic fit as it further strengthens our position in the OEM market. We look forward to working with the talented Madison team and welcome to the FDH family,” said Scott Tucker, CEO of FDH Aero.

Madison was founded in 2000 by Brian Hutchins and is based in Haltom City, Texas. As a distributor of aerospace hardware focused on the OEM market, the Madison team brings with them more than 30 years of aerospace experience and relationships.

“We are excited to be joining Scott and the FDH team as we continue to grow our combined business,” said Brian Hutchins, president of Madison Aerospace, Inc. “Through this partnership, we plan to accelerate our growth while continuing to provide the same outstanding level of service to our existing customers.”

Madison operations will continue to be led by Brian and Craig Hutchins.

Madison Aerospace is FDH’s eighth acquisition, and sixth completed since Audax Private Equity invested in the company. Since its founding in 1999, Audax has raised more than $30 billion in capital across its private equity and private debt businesses.
