Doncasters Group, an almost 250-year-old UK metal engineering group that supplies Boeing Co., has selected banks for a US initial public offering that could value the firm at more than $4 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Leeds-based company has picked advisers including Morgan Stanley and Jefferies Financial Group Inc., as well as Barclays Plc and Moelis & Co., to manage the share sale, the people said. The offering could take place as soon as in 2026, the people said, asking not to be identified because discussions are private.
