The transaction was led by Mitch Martin of The McLean Group’s Aerospace, Defense & Government Services (ADG) practice.

Jeannette Lee, CEO of IIA Technologies, said, “This is an exciting time for IIA and KeyLogic as we intensify our focus on next-generation S&T management and data solutions, while scaling for greater competitiveness. KeyLogic has a long history of technology-based problem solving and superior customer service. The combination gives both companies the heft to take on larger and more complex projects for our customers and expands the depth and breadth of our technology prowess.”

“From the start it was clear that KeyLogic’s service offerings were a natural fit for IIA. We were happy to assist KeyLogic in finding a partner whose culture and goals so closely align with the business KeyLogic has built over the last 20 years,” said Mitch Martin, Senior Managing Director, The McLean Group.

“The McLean Group team was outstanding,” said Jon Hammock, President & CEO of KeyLogic. “They helped us navigate the due diligence process with ease and provided us the guidance needed to assure a highly successful outcome. The McLean Group allowed us to achieve our goals and objectives without compromising either our vision or our principles.”

KeyLogic is known for its extraordinary commitment to the success of the organizations it serves. In every client engagement, the firm brings the same level of passion to mission accomplishment as it does to its own business endeavors.
