On Thursday 11 December, 2025, Headpoint Advisors announced that they have advised the shareholders of Kingfield Electronics, a specialist provider within the Aerospace and Defence sector, on its sale to Elite Electronic Systems, backed by Lonsdale Capital.
The transaction marks a significant milestone for both businesses, as it combines Kingfield Electronics’ technical expertise, sector reputation and highly accredited operations with Elite Electronic Systems’ strategic ambition to broaden its service offering and diversify into high-integrity markets.
Kingfield Electronics is a key player in the Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) sector, serving clients across Aerospace, Defence and other mission-critical industries. The company has built a strong reputation for quality, reliability and compliance with stringent certification standards, which is essential in markets characterized by high barriers to entry and long program cycles.
The sale of Kingfield Electronics to Elite Electronic Systems was facilitated by Headpoint Advisors, who have a strong track record in the EMS and advanced manufacturing sectors. They have previously advised on the sale of Axis Electronics to SIX-listed Cicor Group.
Nick Taylor, Managing Director of Kingfield Electronics, expressed his satisfaction with the outcome of the transaction, stating that “Headpoint’s hands-on advice and guidance throughout the process was pivotal in reaching such a successful outcome. They were able to understand and articulate the value of our business in the right way, genuinely demonstrating their EMS sector expertise in driving value throughout the deal. Their tenacity and focus really helped drive the process and get the deal over the line.”
Richard Benyahia, Partner at Headpoint Advisors, also commented on the transaction, saying “The sale of Kingfield Electronics (to Elite Electronic Systems) marks a significant milestone in the 40-year history of the business. We’re privileged to have supported the shareholders on the transaction and deliver a great outcome for our client. By joining Elite, Kingfield has a fantastic long-term home for the business with supportive investors looking to take the business to the next level. I wish them all every success together going forwards.”
