Recently, Ayna was the operational partner in the creation and transformation of Avail Infrastructure Solutions; a strategic carve-out and joint venture between AZZ and Fernweh Group. The transformation was part of AZZ’s plan to shed its “conglomerate discount” and focus on its core metal coatings business.

In a new interview, AZZ CEO Tom Ferguson reflects on the rationale behind the JV, how it allowed AZZ to unlock value while retaining long-term upside, Avail's transformation journey, and the recent $975M sale of Avail’s Electrical Products Group to nVent.

In the featured clips, Tom shares how Ayna, as operational partner, played a critical role in Avail’s turnaround, driving discipline around strategic decisions, implementing robust tools and processes, and helping define what capabilities were core to the business.

From improving operational efficiency to building a high-performance culture, Ayna’s contributions were pivotal in setting Avail on its path to rapid growth.
