February 17, 2016 By Cadmus Group

WASHINGTON, D.C., February 4, 2016—The Cadmus Group, Inc. (Cadmus) announced today that it has completed a transaction to acquire Washington, D.C.-based consultancy Obsidian Analysis, Inc. (Obsidian).

Obsidian is a leading provider of management consulting services across the full range of security and resilience domains. With the addition of Obsidian, Cadmus’ portfolio of services for government and commercial organizations expands to include Obsidian’s cutting-edge emergency management, hazard preparedness, business resilience, cyber security, and national security expertise. These capabilities strategically complement Cadmus’ existing scientific, engineering, and policy expertise in energy, climate change, water, health, critical infrastructure, and the natural and built environments to create a unified firm that is uniquely positioned to help its clients thrive in a rapidly changing landscape.

“Our strategic partnership with Obsidian creates a comprehensive suite of expert offerings that governments and commercial organizations require to address the challenges presented by our changing world,” said Cadmus President and CEO Ian Kline. “In complex emerging areas of risk, such as climate change, water scarcity, public health protection, increasing urbanization, and resilience of critical infrastructure, our new firm now offers best-in-class expertise and experience.”

“By joining Cadmus, we are locking arms with a highly successful, high-energy, and like-minded company to bring increased capabilities to our existing clients while opening up opportunities to explore new areas,” said Obsidian president and co-founder Kevin O’Prey, Ph.D.
