Westcraft Partners is a permanent-capital industrial holding company founded by Chart Westcott, co-founder of Ikarian Capital, and Steve Fettig, whose family has operated manufacturing businesses for generations. We acquire and operate durable lower-middle-market manufacturers that form the backbone of America’s industrial base, with a focus on aerospace, defense, precision manufacturing, and specialized industrial businesses. Our mission is straightforward: preserve skilled workforces, modernize critical production, and compound cash flow over decades, not quarters. We bring the discipline of Wall Street and the permanence of Main Street to one purpose: owning, operating, and strengthening essential American industrial companies.
