Canadian manufacturer of armored vehicles Roshel is planning to build a defense factory in Ukraine. According to ePravda, “tens of millions of dollars” will be invested in it. The factory will be focused on the Ukrainian and European markets.
The decision to open a new enterprise has already been made, said the general director of the company, Roman Shшmonov. According to him, Ukraine has a powerful infrastructure, which remained after the collapse of the USSR and is not used effectively.
He said that Ukraine has “cheap electricity, labor, production chains that are now being built, many people with higher education”.
Roshel employs 200 Ukrainians who are refugees from the war and want to return home. They are to be employed in a new enterprise in Ukraine.
The company’s main product is the Senator armored vehicle, 1,140 of which have been delivered to the armed forces at the expense of partners and Ukraine.
