KONGSBERG Gruppen has announced that it has closed the acquisition of US missile company Zone 5 Technologies LLC , following approval by US regulatory authorities.
California-based Zone 5 is the market leader in affordable mass munitions. The company designs and manufactures mass-producible interceptors, including the ‘Rusty Dagger’ long-range strike and ‘White Spike’ air defence missiles, said KONGSBERG in a press release.
KONGSBERG is acquiring a 90 percent stake in Zone 5. The company will continue to be led by founder and CEO, Thomas Akers, and the rest of the management team, all of whom maintain ownership in Zone 5 following the closing. Post-closing, Zone 5 will operate as an independent subsidiary. The value of the transaction is undisclosed.
