Feb. 16, 2012 - PRLog -- Los Angeles, California (February 16, 2012) – LinQuest Corporation; a leading provider of engineering, acquisition, and operations services for US government communications, command and control, and information systems; announced today the acquisition of Schafer Corporation’s Colorado Springs Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) operations.  The acquisition includes Schafer’s contracts related to Space Control and Air Force Space Command Headquarters.  The acquisition became effective on February 13, 2012.  

Dr. Leon Biederman, LinQuest’s President and CEO, stated, “I am very excited about the strategic potential of this acquisition, particularly with the support to the Space Control customer.  This acquisition strengthens our presence in the Colorado Springs market and, when synergized with our current offerings, will allow us to better serve our existing and new customers not only in that region but in other areas as well.  We are ready to integrate and welcome the former Schafer employees into our company and look forward to their continued success now as part of LinQuest.”
