Redwire looks at more acquisitions as Genesis Park SPAC moves ahead

Jacksonville Business Journal

By Logan Moore

19 April 2021

After announcing plans to go public through its acquisition by special-purpose acquisition corporation Genesis Park Acquisition Corp, Jacksonville-based Redwire is looking to make more acquisitions, with a focus on companies with proven technology.

“We kind of (view ourselves) as an acquirer of choice,” Redwire COO Andrew Rush told the Business Journal. “And we’re proud to be that, and as a public company, that will only add to our ability now.”

Redwire was created in June by private equity fund AE Industrial Partners, which rolled up Adcole Space, Deep Space Systems and Jacksonville-based Made in Space. It later picked up a handful of other space-focused firms, including structures companies LoadPath and Roccor, engineering firm Oakman Aerospace and Deployable Space Systems, a developer of spacecraft structures and solar arrays.

As a part of the Made in Space acquisition, Rush, who is president of Made in Space, became chief operating officer of Redwire, while Made in Space Chief Engineer Mike Snyder became Redwire’s chief technology officer.

Redwire announced in late March that it is merging with Genesis Park (NYSE: GNPK) and going public, a move that will enable it to keep up with the growing space industry, Rush said.

“There are efficiencies associated with taking a company public via SPAC, and we just felt like it was the right choice for us here at Redwire compared to other avenues,” he said.

The acquisition values Redwire at $615 million and gives it about $170 million in the bank post-merger.

That makes the company “quite capable” of acquisitions moving forward, Rush said, with Redwire looking for companies with proven technology and a penchant for innovation.

“We really believe that in order to be successful in the next golden age of space, you need to be bent toward a new way of thinking and innovative approaches,” he said.

Competition in the space sector is heating up, with more flights from private launch companies and Space X forging ahead with Starlink, a satellite internet constellation being constructed by the company.

“You’re seeing so many opportunities,” Rush said. “In the next year or two, we will see a continuation of development of the human landing system, which is just like it sounds: NASA’s hardware that will take people to the moon’s surface as well as robotic landers.”

Rush said Redwire plans on seizing the opportunity presented by this growth.

“If you went to Silicon Valley (10 years ago) and you said, ‘Hey I want to start a space company,’ they wouldn’t give you the time of day,” he said. “Now, there’s really quite a vibrant angel investing network.”
