Canadian GardaWorld Security Buys Aegis Group For Expansion Into Africa And ME
[Feral Jundi] This is some big news. Both GardaWorld and Aegis are some big companies, and this is more sign of consolidation in the industry as the market compresses. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars have drawn down significantly since the hey day of contracting, and moves like this signal the latest strategies of the major companies--if they want to survive.

I first found out about Aegis shopping around for buyers from Intelligence Online. It has a paywall, but what little they said in the brief description is all I needed to know. As for GardaWorld, here is a snap shot from Wikipedia as to their size and status.
"Market compression" could be the reason for the merger. The need to disconnect from the name 'Aegis' may be another. OBTW, our old 'Foggy Bottom' Benghazi friends at UK's Blue Mountain Security have upgraded their website.
