About the Transaction
In January 2024, Merrill Technologies Group was
acquired by Arlington Capital Partners, a private investment firm
based in Washington, D.C.
"Charter was an advisor to Merrill for more than 10
years, so we were able to witness firsthand the evolution of the
Company into a truly world-class defense manufacturer," said Brown.
"The strategic vision for continued investment in the defense
industrial base, as shared by both Merrill and Arlington,
became apparent during the first meeting between the principles of
both firms. It's exciting to watch the business through its next
phase of growth."
In conjunction with the acquisition, Arlington announced the
formation of Keel Holdings, a new platform established to be a
premier supplier of fabricated structures for the highest priority
programs within the Navy, Army and Air Force. The Company was
formed through the combination of existing Arlington portfolio
company Pegasus Steel and the newly completed acquisitions of Metal
Trades, Inc. and Merrill Technologies Group.
