BETHESDA, Md., Dec. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Aretum, a leading provider of mission-focused technology, engineering, cybersecurity, and professional services to federal agencies, today announced its acquisition of Veterans Engineering, a technology solutions provider which serves the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and other federal clients. The acquisition enhances Aretum's technology offerings in cloud delivery, cybersecurity, and digital transformation, and strengthens its position across key federal markets.

Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, Veterans Engineering delivers advanced solutions in IT modernization, process engineering, organizational change, healthcare technology, cybersecurity, cloud architecture, and digital transformation. The company has served a broad set of federal agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, Department of Energy, and the Defense Health Agency.

"This acquisition represents a strategic leap forward in our ability to support critical federal missions," said Rohit Gupta, CEO, Aretum. "Veterans Engineering's technical strength, track record in complex modernization programs, and commitment to mission outcomes are an ideal complement to Aretum's capabilities. Together, we will accelerate innovation, expand value to our customers, and deepen service to agencies that protect and improve the lives of Americans — including our nation's Veterans."

"Veterans Engineering has built a mission-driven organization grounded in service, technical excellence, and delivery quality," said Manan Shah, Partner at Renovus Capital Partners. "The combined platform strengthens Aretum's position across federal technology programs and creates a compelling foundation for continued growth — both organically and through future strategic acquisitions."

Veterans Engineering will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Aretum. Aretum will integrate many of Veterans Engineering's operations, systems, and delivery teams, retaining key technical and leadership personnel, like VE's VP, Dr. Wally Potts, to ensure continuity for customers and contract performance.

"I am happy to have Veterans Engineering transition to Aretum and its capable leadership team. I am excited that our VE team will continue to serve our existing customers with the same mission focus I have had as a Veteran for these last 20 years," said Neil Snyder, President of Veterans Engineering.
