Lexington, Mass., November 19, 2007 — Atmospheric and Environmental Research, Inc., a leading provider of environmental research and consulting for government and commercial markets, has been named one of the top 25 largest defense contractors in the state of Massachusetts in 2007 by the Boston Business Journal, one of the leading industry newspapers.
AER's President and CEO, Cecilia Sze, credits the company's highly talented atmospheric scientists and engineers, and the DoD's need for realistic natural environment representations for their military applications as key components of the growth in direct sales to the DoD this past year. "Our penetration in the Government market has been quite strong both as a prime and as a sub-contractor for the DoD," said Sze. "The Government's interest in our capabilities in space weather, atmospheric research and remote sensing is a testament to the exceptional work done at AER."
