Denel and Tawazun Holdings to manufacture precision-guided weapon systemsddtawa

Denel has established a joint venture with Abu Dhabi-based Tawazun Holdings
for the development, manufacturing, assembly and integration of
precision-guided weapon systems

The joint venture is with Denel Dynamics, trading as Tawazun Dynamics,
owned 51% by Tawazun Holdings and 49% by Denel.

It will provide precision-guided weapon system manufacturing and integration,
as well as product system management services
to the defence force of the United Arab Emirates and other international clients.

the joint venture will strengthen Denel’s reputation as a global defence manufacturer and
provide it with another important foothold in a strategically important region.

Denel Dynamics is already successfully partnering with Brazil
in developing the A-Darter air-to-air-missile

Also included in its range of precision-guided products and missile systems are
the Umkhonto-IR air defence missile systems,
the Ingwe and Mokopa anti-armour missile systems,
precision-guided munitions and the Raptor II stand-off weapons.

Denel Dynamics has the unique ability to offer turnkey armed surveillance UAVS
(e.g. Seeker-400) equipped with its in-house missile solutions (e.g. Mokopa).

Manufacturing will be central to Tawazun Dynamics’ operations.
This will enable Denel Dynamics, traditionally a very strong development house
with a relatively small production capacity, to expand and strengthen another side to its business.

Tawazun Holdings is a strategic investment holding company
focused on defence and specialised manufacturing, owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi.

The Tawazun Dynamics production facility will be located in the Tawazun Industrial Park in Al-Ajban, on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi.

Denel has enjoyed a very productive long-term relationship with the United Arab Emirates and
the new company will help to strengthen and deepen these ties.
The UAE is strategically located in the global markets and is investing strongly in industrial knowledge-building.

The Chief Executive Officer of Tawazun Holding, H.E. Saif Mohamed Al Hajeri, said that,
“The creation of Tawazun Dynamics marks the next chapter of Tawazun’s continued focus on
the development of the UAE as the leading regional hub in defence and specialised engineering and manufacturing.”
“It is critical for us to work with partners who share our long-term vision and our organisational values.
We believe that Denel, with its focus on operational excellence,
corporate governance and sustainable growth, matches our own ambitions and that our partnership will be a long-term and mutually-beneficial one.”

Saloojee said the joint venture with Tawazun will provide Denel with an important foothold in a strategically important region.
In terms of the new marketing strategy,
Denel will focus on entering new markets in Africa, the Middle East, the Asia-Pacific Region and Latin America.

Denel’s relationship with the United Arab Emirates stretches back over decades
following the delivery of G5 and G6 self-propelled artillery systems.

The UAE air force has been using the Seeker range of unmanned aerial vehicles
for more than two decades and last year renewed the contract with Denel Dynamics for the maintenance of the system.
