Questions about Industrials PE

I hear on wso about tech/consumer/energy, but I am curious how industrials PE investors like their seats? Do you find the companies you're investing in interesting? What do you think the future of this space is like? If you aren't planning to stay in PE do you think you'll stay in the industrials space? Any and all comments are greatly appreciated -- I am planning to recruit on-cycle for industrials (not in an industrials coverage group) and would love to know more about the space. Thanks!
