Reading-headquartered AIM-listed tech group Cohort has completed its acquisition of Australia-based EM Solutions, enabling the UK firm to diversify into the expanding satellite communications market and complement its existing naval offer.

EM Solutions’ main activity is the design, assembly, test, and support of satellite on-the move terminals for defence and government customers.

"We are delighted to welcome EM Solutions to the Cohort group," said Andy Thomis, Cohort chief executive.

"This is a significant step for Cohort, broadening the group's strong naval systems service offering, bringing new customers and enhancing the global footprint of the combined business.

"The increasing security challenges in Southeast Asia and Indo Pacific mean that Australia is an important strategic region.

"This combined with the increasing trend toward satellite communications means there are clear growth opportunities for both EM Solutions and the broader Cohort Group."

EM Solutions will become the seventh independent business within the group.

John Logan, joint managing director at EM Solutions, added: "This is an opportunity for us to collaborate with other businesses within the group to enhance our joint research and development offerings and maximise opportunities for providing our advanced satellite communications technology to more customers all over the world."

Cohort is split into two segments - communications and intelligence and sensors and effectors.
