EEC will continue to operate under its existing name and brand while benefiting from enhanced joint commercial positioning and integrated offerings. The transaction is expected to leverage the complementary sales networks of both companies to address high-potential markets with combined solutions.
The acquisition underscores Leonardo’s continued investment in the United States and adds U.S.-based radar expertise, production capacity, and application know-how to the group. Together, the two companies bring more than five decades of experience in radar meteorology and a global installed base of over 1,500 systems deployed in more than 120 countries.
Andrea Gaggelli, Managing Director of Leonardo Germany GmbH, said, “EEC is an excellent strategic fit for Leonardo, complementing a unique portfolio of remote sensors covering any geographical or application need. Weather radars, wind lidars or windshear detection systems are high-performance precision measuring devices for precipitation and wind that build the backbone of any kind of meteorological service and severe weather warning, becoming a strategic asset for all countries.”
Kurt Kleess, Vice President of Sales at EEC, stated, “EEC is a long-established company whose radar systems incorporate cutting-edge technologies, including full solid-state transceivers as well as ultra-compact and cost-effective designs. Combined with Leonardo’s radar, lidar and integrated software portfolio, this acquisition will accelerate growth—particularly in the US market, where EEC already holds a leading position.”
He added, “By integrating our service organizations, we will further enhance our global support capabilities.” The closing of the transaction is expected in the first quarter of 2026.
