AROTECH TRAINING AND SIMULATION DIVISION ACQUIRES INTER-COASTAL ELECTRONICS

Ann Arbor, Michigan – February 10, 2020 – Arotech Corporation’s Training and Simulation Division (ATSD) has acquired Inter-costal Electronics, Inc. (ICE), a privately-owned corporation headquartered in Mesa, AZ. For over 30 years, ICE has been a leading provider of live training and test instrumentation systems. ICE designs, manufactures, and supports complex instrumentation ecosystems supporting strategic military training objectives. As the primary source for the Apache helicopter’s live training capability; ICE is a global supplier and recognized domain leader.
ICE will join ATSD’s FAAC Incorporated. The entities share a dedication to quality creative technical solutions and a capable workforce motivated to continually advance the state of the art in training solutions. The addition of ICE expands Arotech Training and Simulation’s aviation solution set and adds a vertically integrated manufacturing capability. Synergetic overlap with existing customers and the ability to provide a broader spectrum of training solutions will be beneficial as ATSD expands into the rest of the 21st century.
“I am excited by the opportunities this acquisition presents for ICE’s employees and the resources it avails,” said Shawn Kirkpatrick, President of ICE. “I am confident that we are joining an organization that shares our common spirit and drive enabling us to build upon our legacy of success.”
“The addition of ICE to the Arotech Training and Simulation Division family not only extends our product offerings but increases significantly the capabilities of the organization,” said Kurt Flosky, President of FAAC and of the Arotech Training and Simulation Division. “These combined capacities and the talented staff behind them will enable opportunities for growth as we continue to serve our current customers and seek to add new ones.”
