About Nicholas Howley
W. Nicholas Howley cofounded TransDigm through a 1993 leveraged buyout in which he acquired four struggling aerospace units from his employer, IMO Industries.
The Cleveland-based aerospace parts manufacturer has grown into a $7 billion (sales) company through acquisitions of small companies that are the sole makers of particular components.
Howley has twice been called to testify before Congress over allegations the company has overcharged the Pentagon for spare parts.
His family foundation has provided scholarships to hundreds of low-income students, primarily to attend Catholic high schools in Cleveland and Philadelphia.
