Arlington Capital Partners has sold aerospace components maker Forged Solutions Group (FSG) to JF Lehman & Company for an undisclosed sum. FSG, headquartered in Sheffield, UK, operates seven manufacturing facilities across the UK and US and employs approximately 840 people. The company specializes in high-specification forgings for aerospace, defense, and space applications, focusing on mission-critical rotating engine components.

Arlington Capital formed FSG in late 2019 through the acquisition of Firth Rixon Forgings from Arconic. The sale reflects Arlington's strategy to exit its portfolio after transforming FSG into a scaled platform capable of addressing industry bottlenecks in precision forging. FSG's vertically integrated capabilities in rolled rings, closed die, and extrusion forgings across nickel, titanium, steel, and aluminum alloys support global OEMs and Tier 1 customers. This transaction underscores the enduring demand for specialized aerospace manufacturing assets amid strong market tailwinds.
