April 17 (Reuters) -

Loar Holdings is aiming for a valuation of up to $2.28

billion in its initial public offering in the United States, the

aerospace parts manufacturer said in a filing on Wednesday.

Loar said it was targeting to raise up to $286 million by

offering 11 million shares at a price range of $24 and $26

apiece.

The New York-based company joins the list of new

entrants looking to take advantage of the buoyant capital

markets that is rebounding after a two-year dry spell.

Loar will list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange

under the symbol "LOAR".

Jefferies, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup are among the

underwriters for the offering.
