Karman Space & Defense, a company focused on rapid design, development and production of critical, next-generation system solutions that align with the U.S. Department of War’s (“DOW”) core mission priorities and the nation’s accelerating demand for access to space, announced on February 5 the closing of its previously announced agreement to acquire Seemann Composites and MSC. This acquisition creates a multi-domain provider of critical sub-systems for key space and defense programs, the company said.
“We are delighted to welcome the talented employees of Seeman Composites and MSC to the Karman team where, together, we can deliver advanced solutions across all domains with greater speed, agility and scale than ever before,” said Tony Koblinski, chief executive officer of Karman. “As an all-domain solutions provider, Karman now offers unique, IP-enabled solutions for critical space and defense systems operating in extreme environments ranging from the high pressure of the deep ocean to the searing heat of atmospheric re-entry. Our expanded portfolio of intellectual property incorporating advanced metallics, energetics, composites and resins gives us the ability to design our solutions to customer requirements and produce at scale to support mission success.”
Based on the acquisitions, Karman has established a fourth end market, “Maritime Defense Systems,” which will include revenue from Seemann, MSC and the company’s ongoing maritime projects. Karman’s other end markets are Hypersonics and Strategic Missile Defense, Tactical Missiles and Integrated Defense Systems and Space & Launch. Sid Charbonnet, president of Seemann and MSC, has joined the company’s leadership team.
