Science, technology and engineering solutions provider KBR announced Tuesday it had acquired LinQuest Corporation.
The acquisition will allow KBR to strengthen its capabilities across space, air dominance and connected battlespace missions, the company said. LinQuest, a provider of advanced engineering, data analytics and digital integration, also has a history of providing services to U.S. government customers like the U.S. Space Force, U.S. Air Force and other agencies within the U.S. Department of Defense. In business for 47 years, LinQuest employs more than 1,500 employees.
“LinQuest’s portfolio of capabilities significantly expands KBR’s ability to meet growing customer demands and continues KBR’s goal of transforming and enhancing key high-end digital solutions,” said Stuart Bradie, KBR President and Chief Executive Officer. “We have been continually impressed with their people-first culture and amazing expertise, so it’s a thrilling day to be able to officially welcome them to the KBR family.”
KBR said it will begin integrating LinQuest into KBR’s Government Solutions segment as well as its Defense and Intel business unit. KBR currently provides mission-critical solutions for its customers across the national security and space domains, with customers in the U.S. Department of Defense, NASA and various intelligence agencies. KBR employs more than 36,000 people around the world with customers in 80 countries and operations in more than 30 countries.
Impacts of the acquisition are not expected to be released until KBR’s third quarter earnings call.
