About the Transaction
In January 2024, Merrill Technologies Group was acquired by Arlington Capital Partners, a private investment firm based in Washington, D.C.

“Charter was an advisor to Merrill for more than 10 years, so we were able to witness firsthand the evolution of the Company into a truly world-class defense manufacturer,” said Brown. “The strategic vision for continued investment in the defense industrial base, as shared by both Merrill and Arlington, became apparent during the first meeting between the principles of both firms. It’s exciting to watch the business through its next phase of growth.”

In conjunction with the acquisition, Arlington announced the formation of Keel Holdings, a new platform established to be a premier supplier of fabricated structures for the highest priority programs within the Navy, Army and Air Force. The Company was formed through the combination of existing Arlington portfolio company Pegasus Steel and the newly completed acquisitions of Metal Trades, Inc. and Merrill Technologies Group.
