On January 10, New York, NY-based Veritas Capital announced the rebranding of its portfolio company, CAES Space Systems, a leading independent supplier of high-reliability electronic solutions, to Frontgrade Technologies. Veritas also confirmed the completion of its previously announced acquisition of the Company from CAES.

With over 60 years of space flight heritage, Frontgrade Technologies will continue to deliver industry-leading space-qualified, mission-critical components and solutions through its relentless focus on innovation and differentiated technology. Since its founding, the company has developed multi-decade relationships with blue-chip customers across the space, defense, and commercial markets, as well as a rich intellectual property portfolio, and has maintained a presence on all major historical U.S. space platforms.
“Our new name captures our commitment to remaining at the forefront of technological innovation and delivering reliable and high-quality products to our customers,” said Elias. “Frontgrade Technologies pays homage to our past and reflects the tremendous opportunities ahead as we enter our next stage of growth. We look forward to continuing to build on our storied legacy and accelerating our value proposition to our customers in partnership with Veritas.”
