SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND DEFENCE TECHNOLOGY

Today, FORCIT is a global supplier operating as a prime contractor for our own systems and as a partner for other international system providers within defence technology. FORCIT Defence is one of the leading suppliers of Insensitive Munition Defence Systems and delivers key capabilities to Finland and can also export technology and capabilities to countries approved by the Finnish government.

The product portfolio ranges from Land and Naval Systems to Breaching and Demolition Solutions and Warheads Design and Development.

Interest in FORCIT Defence’s technologies has increased during recent years as a result of the general deterioration of the geopolitical environment. This development is expected to continue due to the current European security situation.

Our philosophy within Defence is focused on developing insensitive munitions technology, which is as safe as possible to use and activate, minimising the risk of accidents and third-party damage. All issues related to defence technology are subject to strict national regulations and the Finnish government decides upon the list of countries to which Finnish companies are allowed to export defence technology and products. In order to maintain our position as a trusted partner within the defence field, it is necessary to conduct our business in strict accordance with current export control laws, regulations and authorisations.

National legislation and decisions therefore form the basis for all our activities regarding export and defence technology. We will always, without exception, comply with export control laws and regulations applicable to our business. In addition to complying with all applicable laws and regulations of the countries or territories where we operate, our defence products are fully compliant with international regulations and treaties (e.g., Ottawa, Geneva).

The operations of the Defence business unit are managed from FORCIT’s head office in Hanko, Finland.
