German Navy to purchase C$1 billion Canadian combat management system, Canada's trade minister says
The $1 billion project aims to create 500 jobs and strengthen supply security for NATO and European allies amid rising demand for artillery propellants and explosives.
- On Tuesday in Paris, Nalagx Corp. and France's Eurenco will announce a letter of intent to build Canada's biggest explosives factory since the Second World War.
- Rising battlefield demand from Ukraine has driven NATO countries to rebuild arsenals after decades of underinvestment, straining global supply of 105-mm and 155-mm shells.
- Nalagx is scouting five potential Canadian sites near rail and ports, arranging two financing tranches: US$406-million with about US$100-million committed and US$200-million with US$50-million committed, while Eurenco will operate factories under a fee arrangement.
- The deal could be valued at about US$406-million and is projected to create 500 direct jobs in Canada, signaling a rebirth of the defence industry, Nalagx CEO Patrick Gagnon said.
- The venture will include three factories focused on 155-mm shells, following Eurenco's expansion and last month's deal with Poland's PGZ.
