As we look back, 2024 has been a pivotal year for Albers Aerospace, marked by significant growth, transformative acquisitions, and technological advancements. Our mission to deliver innovative, mission-ready solutions for the Warfighter has guided each strategic move we’ve made, building a foundation for an ambitious 2025. As we close the year, Albers Aerospace stands stronger than ever, equipped with expanded capabilities and a renewed commitment to excellence in the aerospace and defense sectors. As CEO John Albers states, “2024 marked a new chapter for Albers Aerospace. Our team achieved remarkable growth, expanded our expertise, and delivered value to our customers, all of which set the stage for even greater contributions in 2025.”

A defining aspect of this year’s growth has been our strategic acquisitions, each carefully chosen to reinforce and extend our operational capabilities. The acquisition of Impact Cases & Containers (ICC), along with Advanced Packaging, Inc. (API) has brought Albers a specialized edge in protective case and storage solutions, as well as increased manufacturing capabilities. Designed to serve the medical, aerospace, military, and commercial markets, our fully customizable foam inserts, and plastic or aluminum container solutions provide tailored protection for any application. Together, ICC and API allow Albers to deliver fully integrated, end-to-end solutions for equipment transport and storage, addressing some of the industry’s most critical logistical challenges with precision and reliability.

Reflecting our commitment to cutting-edge innovation, Albers introduced the eMpower Portable Power Station series in 2024. Built for the demanding needs of defense operations in remote and austere environments, these robust power solutions offer customizable options such as ruggedized casings and waterproofing. Built to withstand the harshest conditions of the modern battlespace, eMpower delivers reliable power in critical moments. The eMpower series embodies Albers’ problem-solving approach and commitment to resilience, empowering Warfighters to maintain essential operations in any environment. "The eMpower series represents Albers' unwavering commitment to resilience and innovation. By addressing the unique challenges of modern defense operations, we are ensuring our Warfighters have dependable power solutions tailored to their mission-critical needs in even the harshest environments. This product line is not just a solution; it’s a testament to Albers' vision of empowering those who protect us,” said Rich Carter, Chief Revenue Officer.

This year, Albers continued its investment in advanced technologies, with a focus on artificial intelligence, turnkey network solutions, and unmanned systems. Building on our integration with OnePath Systems, we’ve expanded our capabilities in secure, reliable network infrastructure, enhancing data processing and interoperability across defense applications. These advancements, supported by OnePath’s expertise in network solutions, enable us to provide defense operators with real-time situational awareness and actionable intelligence. Together, our AI, network, and unmanned systems empower defense teams to respond swiftly and effectively, optimizing decision-making and enhancing operational safety in complex environments.

CEO John Albers emphasized, “While growth is a key priority for us, a focus remains on being the best subcontractor we can be. Our commitment to supporting prime contractors and delivering excellence in every partnership is central to our mission.” Albers’ strategic investments and acquisitions are all made with this goal in mind, ensuring we provide high-quality solutions and dependable performance that primes can rely on while being ready and able to fill the demands that the larger primes don’t have the bandwidth to do. This focus on being a trusted, value-driven partner underscores Albers’ vision to contribute meaningfully to the defense sector, reinforcing the success of larger, mission-critical projects.

As we look ahead to 2025, Albers Aerospace is prepared to build on these successes with an ambitious vision for the future. Our plans include further advancements in AI and unmanned systems, exploration of sustainable manufacturing practices, and continued investment in workforce development to ensure our team remains agile and equipped for the challenges ahead. We also anticipate deepening strategic partnerships that will expand our capabilities and reinforce our role as a trusted partner in national defense.

At Albers Aerospace, every innovation, every acquisition, and every strategic move is driven by a single purpose: to support the mission of our Warfighters and contribute to the safety and success of our Nation’s defense. As we close 2024, we’re poised to enter the new year with even greater momentum, committed to delivering resilient, effective solutions that stand up to the demands of tomorrow’s missions.
