General Dynamics European Land Systems (GDELS) and Escribano Mechanical and Engineering (EME) have signed an agreement to jointly develop opportunities in the defense sector. The announcement was made in Paris at Eurosatory on the EME stand in front of a GDELS Ascod infantry fighting vehicle with an EME Guardian 30 remote-controlled weapon system.
The two companies intend to explore and promote numerous areas of cooperation: The focus will be on the family of GDELS tracked and wheeled armored vehicles such as Ascod, Pandur (GDELS-Steyr: 225 new Pandur for the Austrian Armed Forces) and Piranha as well as the advanced Guardian 30 and Guardian 2.0 remote-controlled weapon stations from Escribano.
“The leading positions, complementary capabilities and know-how of GDELS and EME qualify both companies to explore closer cooperation on future defense projects. This will contribute to strengthening European defense capabilities and securing European supply chains,” said Antonio Bueno, President of GDELS. Javier Escribano, CEO of EME, said: “Our combined industrial expertise is an excellent basis for further exploring and realizing the most technologically advanced defence systems on the market. We are convinced that this agreement will allow us to further advance the development of new solutions at the forefront of technology and strengthen our cooperation.”
