We’re proud to join forces with Diatom Capital and build our commitment to quality and on-time delivery.”— Kathy Mullins, CEO of Industrial Electronics Services, Inc.CINCINNATI, OH, UNITED STATES, July 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Diatom Capital, a private investment firm focused on accelerating growth and acquiring founder-led businesses in the aerospace and defense sectors, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Industrial Electronics Services Inc. (IES), a technology-based powerhouse providing design, manufacturing, and lifecycle management services for electronic products. This strategic acquisition expands Diatom Capital’s portfolio in aerospace, which includes Diatom Aviation, a recognized leader in the design, maintenance, and repair of air-cargo containers (ULDs, or Unit Load Devices) and Ground Support Equipment (GSE), and Midwest Aero Support (MAS) an FAA, EASA, and CAA-certified repair station specializing in the overhaul and repair of aircraft structures and components. With Industrial Electronics Services’ renowned electronic expertise and Diatom Capital’s cutting-edge aviation solutions, the combined team is set to deliver next-level, turnkey infrastructure projects for military, aerospace, energy, transportation, medical, communications, and industrial markets. “This is more than an acquisition — it’s an alliance built to accelerate innovation in the aerospace and defense sectors," said Burt Mattice, President of Diatom Capital and Diatom Aviation. "Industrial Electronics Services’s stellar reputation and skilled workforce are a natural fit for Diatom’s mission to deliver Aviation Simplified™ by unlocking operational efficiencies and maximizing value for both customers and stakeholders." Diatom Capital’s investment philosophy is centered on respect for legacy. Rather than reshaping a company’s identity, Diatom seeks to honor what founders have built, partnering with founders and leadership teams to unlock sustainable, long-term growth while celebrating the culture and values that made the business successful. IES will continue to operate from its facility in Gray, Tennessee, under its existing brand, while now benefiting from Diatom Capital’s global infrastructure, capital investment, and strategic support. “This merger marks an exciting new chapter for our team, our customers, and the legacy we’ve built,” said Kathy Mullins, CEO of IES. “We’re proud to join forces with a company that shares our values and commitment to quality and on-time delivery to drive our vision for the future. Together, we’re positioned to achieve more than we ever could alone.” This marks Diatom Capital’s second acquisition this year, following its recent purchase of Midwest Aero Support — a move that expanded the company’s component repair and maintenance capabilities and added to its regional footprint. Together, these acquisitions reinforce Diatom Capital’s commitment to delivering integrated, end-to-end solutions across the aerospace and defense ecosystem.
