FacilityX Group acquires distribution, logistics, and manufacturing businesses that supply the U.S. military and its partners in South Florida. We buy the companies that keep the mission supplied — and then we run them ourselves.
We came to this industry through the mission, not a pitch deck.
Our founder spent three years in Lockheed Martin's Operations Leadership Development Program, then managed F-35 fleet modification programs — refitting aircraft on schedules where a missing part grounds a mission, not just a meeting. That standard — the mission doesn't wait — is what we look for in every business we buy.
Miami sits at the center of a trade lane most of the industry overlooks: the parts, materiel, and freight that move between the U.S., the Caribbean, and Latin America in support of forces stationed across the hemisphere. We believe that lane — not a office park in the Beltway — is where the next generation of defense supply chain businesses gets built.
We're agnostic about the category — aviation, maritime, ground systems, tactical equipment — and focused on the mission. We buy businesses we understand, run them with the same discipline the warfighter depends on, and hold them for the long term.
From day one we're on the floor — checking inventory turns, quote response times, and every certification on file. We invest in operations before we invest in growth. We earn the right to expand by proving we can run what we own.
We know the procurement channels, the primes, and the compliance requirements — across aviation, maritime, ground, and tactical categories. We know where contracts are lost to slow response, and where a certified, well-run supplier wins on reliability instead of price.
We're not here to flip in three years. We buy businesses we understand, we care about the mission they support, and we build something that lasts — for the founders who built it and the warfighters who depend on it.
Parts and materiel distribution, logistics and freight, MRO, or component manufacturing — aviation, maritime, ground systems, or tactical equipment. We're agnostic about the category and focused on the mission it supports.
Real customers and real relationships — primes, government buyers, allied forces, repair and logistics networks. Revenue matters, but the depth of the relationships is the signal we trust most.
We acquire 100% of the businesses we buy. If you're ready to sell outright or find a permanent home for what you've built, that's exactly what we're here for. One decision-maker, no committees.
Miami-Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach. We run what we buy in person — on the floor, not from a spreadsheet three states away.
One decision-maker. No committees. We move fast when the right opportunity comes along.
Will is a seasoned operator with deep experience in defense manufacturing, aviation logistics, and private equity-backed turnarounds. He spent three years in Lockheed Martin's Operations Leadership Development Program and later managed F-35 fleet modification programs worth more than $70M in aircraft hardware and software retrofits.
He has since served as President and COO of several PE-backed manufacturing and services companies, growing EBITDA through operational discipline — including a turnaround from negative EBITDA to $1.1M profitability in under 90 days. He has held leadership roles at Beckway, Accenture, and Lockheed Martin.

If you've built a real defense supply chain business in South Florida — any category, any branch, any mission — and you're ready to talk about what comes next, we'd like to hear from you. No pitch deck required. If you know someone who should be having this conversation, an introduction means everything to us.
