Key Platforms for TriMas Aerospace Civil A320 ++ A350 ++ A380 + B737 +++ B747 + B777 ++ B787 +++ Tables below represent most significant platforms for TriMas Aerospace: TriMas Aerospace is positioned for growth. Military F-18 - - C-17 - - - F-35A +  The “+” or “-” and number of each, is illustrative of future sales opportunity based on a combination of future build rates and TriMas Aerospace fastener content per aircraft  For example, the B787 has increasing build rates and high TriMas Aerospace content, while the B747 has lowering build rates but high TriMas Aerospace content 23

Other Industry Trends • Robotic assembly – blind bolts are preferred approach for automated aircraft assembly and one-sided installations • Shift to composite – more content on several newer, composite aircraft programs compared to legacy programs • Inventory reductions at distributors and OEMs consolidating multiple inventory locations into one – short-term reductions, but healthy for long- term • Continued supply base rationalization by OEM customers – positive for TriMas Aerospace with a broader product portfolio • Customer purchasing decisions are shifting away from procurement groups to engineering teams – higher-specification products benefit Several industry trends will be positive for the longer-term. 24

Key Strategies – Growth and Margin Improvement

• Grow with projected increase in build rates • Leverage one aerospace platform – expand with existing customers and products • Expand and develop products ‒ Current products (share, new applications) ‒ New products (standards, innovate) • Acquire complementary companies Growth Strategies Many opportunities to outgrow projected aircraft build rates. 26

Complexity and Price Industry Volume Higher Higher Lower Lower Composi-Lok Rotary Blind Bolts OSI Bolts Solid Rivets Blind Rivets Blind Bolts Temporary Fasteners Standard Screws 12-Point Bolts Position TriMas Aerospace as the aerospace fastener supplier of choice. Leverage One Aerospace Platform Complementary Products Complementary Customers Complex machined- components for critical aircraft systems 27

Examples of success: • Major distributors ‒ Customer annual strategy sessions ‒ Martinic ‒ Allfast • Airbus ‒ Mac Fasteners Leverage One Aerospace Platform Broader product portfolio and increased sales leading to new opportunities. 28
