ASRC acquires Vistronix

Arctic Slope Regional Corp. this week said its subsidiary ASRC Federal has acquired defense and intelligence contractor Vistronix, which has more than 700 employees.

Vistronix itself had been making several acquisitions in recent years. The company in late 2014 acquired three companies: Agency Consulting Group, which specializes in enterprise IT; ExaTech Solutions, focused on software and systems; and Objective Solutions, which provides big data, cyber and analytics.

Vistronix was backed by Enlightenment Capital, an investment firm focused on aerospace, defense and government and founded by Pierre Chao and Devin Talbott.

ASRC said the deal would expand its work with intelligence agencies and boosts its capabilities in advanced analytics, signal intelligence, cybersecurity and large-scale data processing. Vistronix will operate as a subsidiary of ASRC Federal.
