Woodbridge, VA – Sev1Tech, a leading provider in IT modernization, cybersecurity, and cloud services announced today it has successfully completed the acquisition of Engineering Solutions and Products (ESP). ESP is a premiere provider of C4ISR-focused solutions supporting the U.S. Army’s vital warfare priorities. The acquisition of ESP will allow Sev1Tech to expand its portfolio of services offerings, engage with new Federal agencies and commercial customers, and extend its geographical footprint to more than 38 U.S. states and international locations.

Founded in 2000, ESP has focused their mission on supporting the U.S. Army in the areas of systems engineering and integration, logistics ad supply chain management, mission and program support, training and readiness, as well as information technology and cybersecurity.

Sev1Tech has experienced steady growth over the past 10 years by focusing on providing IT modernization, cybersecurity, engineering, and program optimization support to the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, Federal agencies as well as commercial customers.
