Cubic will operate as a separate subsidiary of MiTek,” Manenti commented.

“We are thrilled to be part of the MiTek and Berkshire Hathaway team,” said Mike Giffhorn. “MiTek’s approach to profitably growing a business and building outstanding organizations makes this acquisition, from Cubic’s perspective, ideal.
