Amca manufactures critical sub-tier components that keep aircraft flying and vehicles moving, such as hydraulics, avionics, sensors, flight-control computers, and power electronics. Currently, the manufacturing base for these components relies heavily on a fragmented network of ageing, family-owned legacy suppliers. Instead of trying to run these traditional suppliers out of business, Amca’s strategy centres on consolidation and modernisation. The startup actively acquires established, certified family-run manufacturers and absorbs them into its single, connected network.

Phoenix designs and manufactures the highest-yielding neutron generators for neutron radiography, also called neutron imaging. It's a nondestructive imaging technique that exposes a sample to a neutron beam, revealing its internal structure. This method is useful for manufacturers in defense and aerospace industries, enabling them to create safer, more efficient, and higher-quality products. In addition, the startup provides a valuable inspection service to support customer R&D, part qualification, and root cause analysis. Acquired by SHINE Technologies
