KippsDeSanto & Co. Advises Millennium Engineering and Integration Company on its Merger with QuantiTech LLC, a Portfolio Company of Sagewind Capital LLC
KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to announce the merger of its client, Millennium Engineering and Integration Company (“MEI” or the “Company”), with QuantiTech LLC, a portfolio company of Sagewind Capital LLC.
Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, MEI provides advanced systems engineering and integration solutions for federal, space, defense, and intelligence agencies. For more than 20 years, MEI has supported vital space / space resiliency, missile, aircraft, cyber, and ground-based programs.
The combination with MEI strengthens QuantiTech’s capabilities in the missile defense, space, and intelligence markets and solidifies the combined company’s position as a leading defense and space engineering and integration platform.
We believe this transaction highlights several key trends in the defense and government technology mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”) market:
• There remains strong buyer demand for advanced engineering capabilities and access to large scale, well-funded space and defense programs
• Buyers continue to value franchise positions within high-priority mission areas, including missile defense, space, cybersecurity, and intelligence
• Financial sponsor interest remains elevated for well-positioned defense and government assets, particularly considering ongoing pandemic-related market uncertainty
• Favorable market dynamics have expanded the group of well-capitalized buyers in the sector, from private equity and foreign companies to SPACs, providing sellers today with a plethora of options when considering strategic liquidity events
