PRESS RELEASE

Dallas, TX – May 24, 2022 – DBHCAP (“DBH”) and Tides Capital (“Tides”) are pleased to announce their investment in and partnership with Salvo Technologies, Inc.

Founded in 2006, Salvo’s photonics profile includes electro-optical components and assemblies, fire control optics, custom camera lenses, multispectral and hyperspectral point detection and imaging systems, and sports accessories.

Salvo has grown rapidly since its inception through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. As a result, Salvo has become one of the leading independent, vertically integrated photonics manufacturing platforms in North America.

“The partnership with DBH and Tides and their commitment to operational and financial resources will amplify our standalone growth initiatives,” said Salvo President John Dougherty. “We look forward to accelerating our strategy to consolidate the fragmented, strategically critical niches of the global photonics supply chain in which we operate.”

“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with a world-class organization like Salvo that provides a differentiated value proposition to its global customer base,” said Desmond Henry, Managing Partner at DBHCAP. “Salvo is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the strong secular growth trends driving photonics content across the diverse end markets it serves.”
