TORONTO & ADELAIDE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Avinet, the leader in Aviation Safety and Operations for complex & high-quality operators & carriers, announces the close of its significant growth equity recapitalization with Arcadea Group, the only permanent-capital growth equity investor in software companies globally.

The transaction will enable accelerated growth and innovation as the Company scales up to meet material global demand for its highly trusted suite of products.

“The demand for purpose-built, highly functional and time-tested software within the general aviation and scheduled charter markets has never been higher,” said Aleks Banas, CEO of Avinet. “With coming global regulations and customer mandates for SMS and Operations solutions, customers are not adequately served by legacy tech vendors or internal make-shift processes.

Paul Yancich, Managing Director of Arcadea Group, said, “The market feedback on Avinet’s team, product, and reputation were remarkable. Aviation customers leverage Avinet’s SMS and Operations products to solve problems that are incredibly complex and mission-critical to operating safely and profitably.”
