KNDS CEO Jean-Paul Alary said: “We welcome the agreement reached between France and Germany which supports KNDS vision of strengthening its position as a pan-European leader in land defense, strongly rooted in both countries. It confirms the strategic importance of KNDS for Europe’s defense capability, industrial base and technological sovereignty.
It recognises the legitimate strategic and security interests of our State stakeholders, while preserving the autonomy the Group’s management needs to run the company successfully.
KNDS will continue to be managed with a clear focus on execution, performance, competitiveness, innovation, strengthened market position and long-term shareholder value. This framework gives us the basis to invest in future technologies, strengthen our industrial capabilities and actively contribute to the further cooperations and consolidation of the European defense industry.
We thank the French and German governments for their constructive engagement and for their confidence in KNDS. Our task now is to deliver for our customers, our employees, our shareholders and Europe’s defense capability and credibility.”
