The Luxembourg American Chamber of Commerce (LACC) selected Redwire as its 2024 Business Award winner for the contributions the company’s Luxembourg facility has made toward expanding Luxembourg’s activities in space. The award was presented at the LACC’s 11th Business Award Ceremony and Gala on April 24 with His Royal Highness Crown Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Xavier Bettel. Redwire’s Luxembourg facility designs and develops robotic arms to support activities in Earth orbit and on the Moon that include satellite servicing and refueling, payload management, debris capture, in-space manufacturing, and resource extraction, among others.
For the first time, the Luxembourg-American Business Award is being presented to a company whose activities extend beyond our terrestrial borders, a company that is reaching for the stars – said HRH Crown Prince Guillaume.
At the award ceremony, HRH the Hereditary Grand Duke said: “Tonight, we celebrate Redwire for its remarkable achievements in the space industry and its contribution to the commercial relationship between the United States and Luxembourg. We are honouring a future-oriented American company. For the first time, the Luxembourg-American Business Award is being presented to a company whose activities extend beyond our terrestrial borders, a company that is reaching for the stars. This is not a coincidence or a development that has come out of nowhere. Luxembourg has invested heavily in the space industry, fostering an environment in which businesses can thrive. Our history has taught us not to rest on our laurels and to think outside the box, and our political leaders have always been able to anticipate the economic changes that would influence our economy.”
We are honored to have been selected as the 2024 Luxembourg American Business Award recipient – said Redwire Chairman and CEO Peter Cannito.
“Luxembourg, with support from the business community, investment community, and government, has created a great ecosystem for business growth, strengthened U.S.-Luxembourg relations, and fostered innovation crucial for the success of multinational space missions.”
