We are a newly organized blank check company. (Incorporated in the Cayman Islands)

We intend to focus on industries that complement our management team’s background, and to capitalize on the ability of our management team to identify and acquire a business, focusing on the industrial and services industries. We will seek to acquire one or more businesses with an aggregate enterprise value of approximately $500 million to $1 billion (and may be greater than $1 billion), and we will not be prohibited from pursuing businesses with an aggregate enterprise value of less than $500 million.

Our strategy will be to identify, acquire and, after our initial business combination, build an industrial or services business.
