On Thursday 11 December, 2025, Headpoint Advisors announced their role in advising the shareholders of Kingfield Electronics on its sale to Elite Electronic Systems, backed by Lonsdale Capital. The sale marks a significant milestone for both companies, as it combines Kingfield Electronics’ technical expertise, sector reputation, and highly accredited operations with Elite Electronic Systems’ strategic ambition to expand its service offering and diversify into high-integrity markets.
Kingfield Electronics, a specialist provider in the Aerospace and Defence sector, operates within the Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) industry, serving clients in mission-critical industries. The company has a strong reputation for quality, reliability, and compliance with stringent certification standards, which are crucial in markets with high barriers to entry and long programme cycles.
Headpoint Advisors has a strong track record in the EMS and advanced manufacturing sectors, having previously advised on the sale of Axis Electronics to SIX-listed Cicor Group. Their hands-on advice and guidance throughout the process were instrumental in reaching a successful outcome for the shareholders of Kingfield Electronics.
Nick Taylor, Managing Director of Kingfield Electronics, praised Headpoint’s expertise, saying, “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 expressed his excitement about the sale, 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.”
