PALO ALTO, Calif., May 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Radant Technologies Division of Communications & Power Industries (CPI) has completed the acquisition of AdamWorks, LLC, a design engineering and manufacturing company based in Centennial, Colorado that specializes in composite structures for business and commercial aviation, manned and unmanned systems, space and defense applications.
The acquisition is expected to complement CPI's existing radome business by expanding its airborne product line to include new types of products, materials and technologies.
