# CMG Acquires Energetics Laboratory

Critical Materials Group (CMG), an energetics manufacturer, acquired Rocky Mountain Scientific Laboratory (RMSL) to bring energetics development, formulation, and testing capabilities in-house. The deal terms were not disclosed; the combined company has nearly 60 employees. CMG also recently raised $10.3 million to support its first distributed production plant. No government contract award or solicitation was announced, but the acquisition is relevant to defense buyers and industry stakeholders tracking supplier capabilities in energetics and production capacity.

- CMG’s expanded in-house capabilities may let it address customer needs across development, formulation, and testing with fewer external dependencies.
- Defense procurement teams assessing energetics suppliers can evaluate CMG’s expanded technical scope and planned production capacity; the signal does not specify a plant location or timeline.
- Companies in the energetics supply chain can account for CMG’s acquisition when assessing potential competition, subcontracting relationships, or supplier options.
