About Altair Industries LLC
Altair Industries LLC is a middle market private equity firm focused exclusively on aerospace and defense and mission-critical industrial sectors across North America. The firm pursues control-oriented investments in established companies serving defense contractors, commercial aerospace OEMs, and mission-critical industrial end markets, partnering with management teams to elevate operational performance and scale resilient platforms through organic initiatives and disciplined mergers and acquisitions. Altair Industries targets companies with proven business models, differentiated capabilities, and sustainable competitive advantages in subsectors benefiting from long-term secular tailwinds including defense modernization, aerospace supply chain reshoring, and critical infrastructure investment.

Altair Industries invests exclusively within the United States and seeks majority ownership positions in companies positioned to benefit from the convergence of defense expansion, technological transition, and supply chain reconfiguration. Founded in 2025 by David Waxman and Michael Livanos, both former executives at Stellex Capital Management, the firm is headquartered in New York, New York, United States.
