The award, given in a well attended ceremony in New York in December, was accepted by Generational Equity, the investment bank that managed both transactions. Tom Staszak, Generational Equity’s lead managing director for the merger stated, “There are a large number of investment groups interested in the government outsourcing area. US Logistics explored a wide range of potential growth strategies before deciding to partner with Ranger and CAV International. It is a testament to the outstanding organization created by the US Logistics team that there was a significant amount of interest in the company. US Logistics chose a strong partner that is committed to rapid growth and long-term success.”

Steve Townes, CEO of Ranger International and founder of Ranger Aerospace, said “We feel very privileged to be partnered with the teams of US Logistics and CAV International. They are both excellent companies filled with outstanding people.”
