KippsDeSanto & Co. Advises UEC Electronics, LLC on its Sale to Arotech Corporation
KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to announce the acquisition of our client, UEC Electronics, LLC (“UEC” or “the Company”), by Arotech Corporation (“Arotech”). The acquisition provides differentiated electronics manufacturing and engineering capabilities to Arotech and strengthens the acquirer’s footprint within the U.S. defense and aerospace market.
Headquartered in Hanahan, SC, UEC is a leading provider of high-end electronics engineering and design, rapid prototyping, and vertically-integrated production services for military, aerospace, and industrial customers. Since inception, the Company has fostered its reputation as an expert product designer and developer of critical electronics, spanning components and subassemblies through end-use systems. UEC’s unique suite of production capabilities, proven performance, proprietary solutions, and wealth of experience makes the Company a trusted supplier to a full array of military customers and original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”), including Marine Corps Systems Command, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, Raytheon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin and BAE Systems.

• Attractiveness of proprietary, differentiated technologies, with an emphasis on power distribution and management solution
• Prime positions on large, long-term, and well-funded programs that provide critical support to future military and industrial initiatives
