Rhea-AI Summary
TransDigm (NYSE: TDG) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Prince & Izant, a portfolio company of Industrial Growth Partners, for approximately $1.066 billion in cash, including certain tax benefits. P&I designs and manufactures highly engineered brazing alloys and specialty metal components for advanced, high cost-of-failure applications.
