BaltCap strives to build Baltic companies into internationally recognised business champions. The latest proof is Tallinn headquartered full-service aircraft maintenance company Magnetic MRO – during BaltCap’s ownership between 2010-2018, Magnetic MRO grew from a small regional player to a profitable global company. In 2017, Magnetic MRO received Company of the Year and Exporter of the Year awards in Estonia. In 2018, BaltCap exited Magnetic MRO to an international strategic buyer Guangzhou Hangxin Aviation Technology listed on Shenzhen Stock Exchange in China.
