Qualis celebrates 30th anniversary

HUNTSVILLE – Qualis is celebrating its pearl anniversary this month with 30 years of memories over 30 days, the company announced.

“As I recall the past three decades, I am in awe of the Qualis Corporation team,” said co-founder Elizabeth Morard. “The team navigated the nuances of federal contracting early in this journey, developed valued business relationships, earned accolades for work performed, continued to build a team of unique and talented individuals to not only bring value to customers, but also take on company growth challenges while improving and evolving our organization.”

The Huntsville-based company has been providing technical and engineering support for the American warfighter overseas. Qualis has grown to more than 15 locations and nearly 300 employees nationwide.

They provide services to the Air Force, Army, Navy, Missile Defense Agency, NASA, Space Development Agency, and Space and Missile Defense Command in systems acquisition and engineering, test and evaluation, program management, logistics, and cybersecurity.

Morard, the company’s president and CEO for the first 25 years and now board chair and co-CEO, and Mary Engel established Qualis 30 years ago to support the Marshall Space Flight Center.

Morard said the foundation of their success has been built on their desire for technical excellence and exceeding customer expectations, and they will continue to support that growth as a company to look to in the future.

“Along the way, I have had the privilege of working with and learning from a host of talented colleagues, successful mission-driven customers, and local and national business partners to whom I am immensely grateful for their dedicated work, friendship and the opportunity of their partnership,” she said.

Engel retired from her role as executive vice president in 2008 but remains involved in the company as co-owner and member of the Board of Directors. She said the company is where it is today because of the hard work and dedication of their employees.

“I am very proud and would like to thank each one,” said Engel. “Our employees contribute to the success of Qualis.”
