Veritas Capital (“Veritas”) has rebranded their portfolio company, CAES Space Systems, a leading supplier of high-reliability electronic solutions, to Frontgrade Technologies.
Veritas also confirmed the completion of its previously announced acquisition of the company from CAES. Frontgrade Technologies will remain headquartered in Colorado Springs and will continue to be led by Mike Elias, Chief Executive Officer, alongside the rest of the leadership team.
With more than 60 years of space flight heritage, Frontgrade Technologies will continue to deliver space-qualified, mission-critical components and solutions through its 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 Mr. 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.”
“We are excited to partner with the Frontgrade team, bringing our significant government technology experience to the Company’s storied heritage and mission-critical product offering to accelerate growth and enhance Frontgrade’s value proposition to customers,” said Ramzi Musallam, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner of Veritas. “Today’s milestone marks an exciting new chapter for Frontgrade as it continues its industry leadership and begins its journey as a standalone business.”
