Infinity Capital Partners Advises Alliance Air Parts on its Merger with RIM Enterprises
Infinity Capital Partners arranged the transaction which closed on June 12, 2025
Oklahoma City, OK — June 12, 2025
Alliance Air Parts (“Alliance” or the “Company”), an Oklahoma City-based premium aircraft de-manufacturer and supplier to the business aviation aftermarket, has merged with RIM Enterprises (“RIM”). The combined business will be called RIM Alliance. Infinity Capital Partners (“Infinity”) served as exclusive buy-side advisor to Alliance.
Founded in 1991 in Marion, IA, RIM is a leading full-service aircraft parts supplier to customers across the globe. Led by industry veterans Paul Copping, President, and Steve Bell, Managing Director, RIM offers creative solutions across the purchase, exchange, lease, and rental lifecycle of aircraft parts and avionics. With more than 150 years of aviation experience across the team, RIM has established an extensive knowledge base coupled with strong customer and vendor relationships. Paul, Steve, and the rest of the RIM management team will remain in their current roles.
Originally founded in 2006 in Oklahoma City, Alliance specializes in aircraft de-manufacturing of bizjet, turbo-prop, and narrow-body commercial aircraft. Scott Potter, President, partnered with ACapitalFund (“ACF”) to purchase Company in early 2024 and has quickly elevated the business into its next lifecycle of growth. With the RIM merger, RIM-Alliance now boasts two large facilities and thousands of customers both nationally and internationally.
"RIM and Alliance have enjoyed a longstanding relationship, built on mutual respect for each other's business practices and commitment to customers," said Scott. "When the opportunity arose to collaborate more closely, we were both immediately enthusiastic about the possibilities. Our strengths are highly complementary, and there is significant opportunity for shared growth and learning."
“We were thrilled to work with Scott and his team at Alliance to analyze and execute on this platform-enhancing transaction for Alliance and ACF,” said Ben Lewallen, Director at Infinity Capital Partners. “We look forward to watching Scott, Paul, Steve, and the rest of the team members transform the new entity into an industry-leading platform within the aviation aftermarket.”
McAfee & Taft served as legal counsel to Alliance. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
