America’s Manufacturing Revival

The U.S. manufacturing sector is being transformed and The Carlyle Group is confident the revival will continue. In a fascinating interview with Privcap, Brian Bernasek, Managing Director in Carlyle’s U.S. buyout practice, describes drivers of change in the U.S. energy market and Chinese labor market. He also details his work on two of 2012’s largest deals–the $4.9-billion acquisition of DuPont’s Performance Coatings business (renamed Axalta) and $3.46-billion buyout of Hamilton Sundstrand.
