Canadian Defence Company Expands European Presence
Galvion has been awarded a five-year framework contract worth up to €27.8 million by Latvia’s State Centre for Defence Logistics and Procurement to supply Batlskin Hellbender helmet systems. The agreement, concluded under the European Union’s Security Action for Europe initiative, represents one of the first contracts awarded to a Canadian defence company through the new procurement framework. Galvion will also engage with local Latvian industry throughout the programme, supporting regional cooperation and strengthening security of supply.
