Vanguard was acquired as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SolAero, but will function under the Alliance Spacesystems brand name. No near-term changes to any of Vanguard’s operations are expected as part of the transaction.
Frank Belknap, CEO of Vanguard, “Vanguard is pleased to be joining the SolAero team. We have established a great working relationship over the years working on joint projects. This acquisition will consolidate the capabilities and resources of Alliance and Vanguard, and Vanguard's extensive engineering heritage will enhance SolAero's portfolio of products and services to the space structures industry.”
