BAE Systems acquire 40% stake in MES
(12/2/2007) We are delighted and very proud to report that defence giant BAE Systems Integrated System Technologies (Insyte) has acquired a 40% stake in MES. The remaining 60% shareholding remains in private hands. The Insyte Strategy Department identified the effectiveness of MES when operating in both the commercial marine and naval segments and how that has led to MES punching above its weight in winning some high profile contracts in UK shipbuilding. Insyte wishes MES to support its low end combat systems export business and provide navigation systems expertise and bridge integration systems for the larger Insyte naval contracts. The Insyte senior management were acutely aware of the need to ensure that MES continues to operate a lean organisational structure, remain highly competitive and to offer the current level of service to its customers; and therefore are applying a light touch in a growth strategy for MES. Steve Howells has been appointed Business Development Director and will work closely with MD Mike Whitlock to herald an exciting future for the company.
