We’re thrilled to see Arlington portfolio company KEEL, which we formed in early 2024, featured in the latest edition of The Fabricator.

Keel is purpose-built to meet the challenge posed by the nuclear shipyards to efficiently build large, integrated modules on an outsourced basis without sacrificing the quality that is critical to the manufacturing process. Under the leadership of CEO Brian Carter, KEEL has created a strong foundation of skilled fabricators, supplemented by emerging manufacturing technologies and deep-water access, to ensure the U.S. Navy and broader defense industrial base is able to meet production needs for years to come.
