“This is a proud day for all of us,” said AEgis President and co-founder Bill Waite. “At AEgis, our vision is to lead the world in modeling and simulation.”

“AEgis Technologies Group is an internationally recognized leader in providing advanced modeling and simulation capabilities in this community’s targeted industry recruitment areas of aerospace and defense, automotive, and biomedical, to name a few,” said Chamber Board Chairman Evans Quinlivan. “So this is a great occasion to celebrate a company that provides excellent services that support the areas of business that serve as this community’s economic foundation. Many of you may not know that Huntsville is becoming known as one of the premier centers for modeling and simulation technology – and that is in great part thanks to companies like AEgis and to the incredible talent of the people who work here,” said Quinlivan.

“We are committed to innovation, and this new facility is being built to allow us to continue to be innovative and to diversify our customer base and our products and services,” said AEgis CEO and co-founder Steve Hill.

AEgis is involved in a range of projects including nanotechnology, directed energy, micro photonics, training simulation development, 3D imagery terrain geospatial services, and systems engineering.

“Our new facility includes a state-of-the-art laboratory that has been designed for nanoscale research and manufacturing,” said Hill. “This large ‘clean room’ is equipped with a still-growing array of state-of-the-art tools for making, testing and characterizing prototype nanoscale devices and materials. Also included in the facility is a simulation development demonstration laboratory with tactical level simulation integration capabilities.”

Other features of the building include window offices for the majority of employees and collaboration rooms.
