The two entities will develop specialised training facilities in Abu Dhabi
EDGE, one of the world’s leading advanced technology and defence groups, has announced a joint business plan with its entity CONDOR, a world leader in non-lethal technology, to establish new non-lethal manufacturing and specialised training facilities in the UAE.
Announced during a visit by CONDOR’s Board of Directors to Abu Dhabi, the new strategic facilities will provide the latest non-lethal solutions and services to surrounding regions. The facilities will also position the UAE as an export hub for highly specialised defence, homeland security and sovereignty capabilities.
“Together with EDGE in Brazil, and now in the UAE, we are confident that they will take the company to the next stage of international growth and development,” commented Hamad Al Marar, EDGE Group Managing Director & CEO.
“Our mission here is to share our expertise in developing non-lethal technologies and our experience in jointly developing with end users’ solutions and services that enable the proportionate and reasonable use of force as necessary to maintain sovereignty,” explained Frederico Aguiar, CEO, CONDOR.
The joint business plan is the latest development in EDGE Group’s ongoing effort to localise advanced technology and industrial capabilities. Earlier this year, EDGE Group acquired a 51 percent stake in CONDOR, opening new avenues for sustainable global growth and innovation.
