Aeronautical & General Instruments Limited Acquired by DC Capital Partners. Subsequently Rebrands as Rivencore Global Solutions
Alexandria, VA (November 26, 2025) DC Capital Partners, an Alexandria, VA based private equity firm focused on making investments in Government and Engineering businesses, is pleased to announce it has acquired Aeronautical & General Instruments Limited ("AGI"), a leading UK provider of integrated maritime technologies and systems.
Following the acquisition, AGI announced on November 25, 2025, that it has successfully rebranded as Rivencore Global Solutions ("Rivencore" or the "Company"). The Company remains committed to delivering world-class defense and maritime technologies while continuing to support its customers with the same expertise and dedication they have come to rely on.
This acquisition represents a significant milestone for Rivencore, which was formed following the 2017 merger of two renowned UK engineering companies AGI and Aish Technologies Limited (“Aish”). AGI and Aish are two heritage businesses, each with over 100 years of operational history, that have been instrumental in shaping the evolution of naval technology in the UK and abroad.
The transaction will allow Rivencore to operate as an independent company, which will allow the business to more effectively service their existing customers while expanding the capabilities and geographical reach of the business in a disciplined, strategic manner. The Company will continue to be well positioned to assist their current and future customers to address increased global uncertainty and the renewed commitment of allied nations to invest in the defense organizations of their respective countries.
DC Capital Partners brings deep sector experience in government-related businesses and a strong commitment to long-term value creation. Their plans for Rivencore include strategic investments in technology, engineering talent, and infrastructure, with a clear focus on supporting national defense priorities and further growing the organization.
“We are delighted to welcome Rivencore into the DC Capital portfolio,” said Thomas J. Campbell, Founder and Managing Partner of DC Capital. “The Rivencore team shares our core values of always doing the right thing and treating people the way you want to be treated. As we build out all aspects of the business, both internally and externally, we will ensure these values remain at the core of the Company.”
DC Capital Partners’ Jeff Weber commented, “Rivencore’s deep legacy, recent transformation, and future facing ambition align strongly with our mission. We look forward to working with David Hyde and the impressive team at Rivencore. The Company has unique capabilities that are critical to allied Navies, and we will continue to invest in these capabilities to ensure the continued success of the business.”
Over the past three years, Rivencore has undergone a substantial transformation, merging AGI and Aish into a single, unified organization. This has resulted in a strengthened business, able to deliver cutting-edge systems across command and control, navigation aids, rugged electronics, secure enclosures and lighting technologies.
“We are immensely proud of the journey that has brought us here,” said David Hyde, Chief Executive Officer of Rivencore Global Solutions. “With the integration of AGI and Aish under the leadership of Trident Maritime Systems, we have created a highly capable and forward-looking organization. This next chapter under the ownership of DC Capital Partners marks an exciting opportunity to accelerate investment, expand our capabilities, and strengthen our support to customers in the UK and internationally.”
Rivencore, together with its new owners, is committed to ensuring a seamless transition and continued excellence for all customers and partners.
