Karman Karman Space & Defense Acquires Seemann Composites and Material Sciences

Karman’s strategy is to deliver advanced systems for next generation propulsion and shielding applications, serving the country’s highest priority national security interests from deep sea to deep space. The acquisitions of Seemann Composites and Material Sciences significantly advance this strategy and align Karman’s business with core national security priorities. The transaction significantly expands Karman’s exposure to the DOW’s highest priority naval programs, including submarine, USV/UUV and tactical surface vessels. Seemann and MSC’s product portfolio is a compelling complement to Karman, with a focus on owned-IP protected solutions for sonar, acoustic and signal mitigation; subsea and surface propulsion; and missile and amphibious strategic launch. Building on Karman’s prior acquisitions of MG Resin and MTI, Seemann and MSC significantly deepen Karman’s advanced materials IP portfolio and add a talented material science team focused on next-gen materials and resin system design, which can be leveraged across all the Company’s end-markets. Seemann and MSC will add unique production capabilities, particularly in maritime and hypersonics, including advanced resin infusion, automated fiber placement AFP, fabric weaving, fatigue tests and 3D printing, that strategically align with Karman’s concept-through-production approach to rapidly deliver technologies to the warfighter.
