This new entity joins Phoenix Logistics, PLI Manufacturing and Riptide Software to form the fourth group company within Phoenix Defense. Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Rick Stikkers noted “While Phoenix has supported efforts in multiple OCONUS locations, establishment of the GmbH is an important step toward making Phoenix Defense an international company capable of doing business anywhere in the world.  It also opens up a wide variety of opportunities.  We are very excited to continue to expand into new markets and posture the company for additional growth.”
