Omni, an Australian sovereign defence SME, has expanded its capability offering with the acquisition of AMW Professional Services.
AMW are an ‘above the line’ contracting firm providing professional services to the Australian government throughout the capability life cycle, from initial concept through to disposal.
Omni expects that integrating AMW into its existing service delivery will strengthen the capability offering to existing and new clients. The acquisition is expected to see Omni’s presence expand into the maritime sector, complementing existing services in aerospace, consulting, security, and vetting.
“To support Australia’s defence capabilities, there must be Australian-owned defence companies with sovereign capabilities," CEO of Omni, Jon Hawkins said. "AMW’s reputation has been built on providing highly qualified and professional people to deliver tailored services to our clientele. This is a natural cultural and capability fit with Omni’s trusted, proven team.
“As part of our commitment to growing sovereign capabilities in Australia, the AMW acquisition will position Omni to further support the Government as defence spending increases over the next decade and our national security becomes more uncertain.”
“It has been a pleasure to build AMW, and its outstanding team from the beginning in 2003 to what it is today," AMW Managing Director, Tony Wright added.
“AMW has steadily grown with market demand and evolved into a highly regarded technology development and service delivery company.
“Like Omni, AMW’s through life capability life cycle, from initial concept to disposal, has consistently produced outstanding results in complex and large-scale projects and programs."
