ABSI Aerospace & Defense Named a 2026 VETS Indexes 5-Star Employer

ABSI Aerospace & Defense is proud to announce that it has been recognized as a 2026 VETS Indexes 5-Star Employer, a distinction awarded to organizations that demonstrate an exceptional commitment to recruiting, hiring, developing, and supporting veterans and the broader military-connected community.

At ABSI, hiring veterans is more than a hiring initiative—it is a core part of who we are. As a company built on mission-driven work supporting national security and defense, ABSI values the leadership, discipline, and operational mindset that veterans bring to the workforce. These qualities align directly with our culture of excellence, accountability, and service.

“Veterans are integral to our team and our mission,” said Chris Sacco, CEO. “Their experience, adaptability, and commitment to service strengthen our organization and directly contribute to the success of our customers. This recognition reinforces our ongoing commitment to creating meaningful career opportunities for those who have served.”

ABSI’s approach to supporting veterans extends beyond hiring. The company actively fosters an environment where veterans can grow professionally, transition successfully into civilian careers, and continue to lead with purpose. This includes:

  • Creating career pathways that build on military experience
  • Supporting professional development and advancement
  • Promoting a culture of inclusion and shared mission
  • Valuing military service across the organization

The VETS Indexes Employer Awards evaluate organizations based on their policies, practices, and outcomes in areas such as veteran hiring, retention, development, and support for military families.

Earning the 5-Star designation reflects ABSI’s sustained commitment to building a workforce that includes and empowers those who have served.
