AmSafe Bridport, UMO team for Polish market
AmSafe Bridport will work with Polish defence company UMO to launch its Tarian rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) armour system into the Polish defence and security market. The two companies signed a cooperation agreement for the work on 31 August at the International Defence Industry Exhibition (MSPO) in Poland.
Tarian is a lightweight and flexible RPG vehicle armour system. Developed by AmSafe Bridport in close collaboration with the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), the system is fitted to a variety of British military vehicles, including those in service in Afghanistan.
Under this agreement, UMO’s customers will have access to Tarian for defence and security vehicles, both within Poland and on international peace-keeping missions.
Ian Kentfield, president, AmSafe Bridport, said: ‘AmSafe Bridport is delighted to appoint UMO as our representative in Poland. UMO is superbly placed to help us explore opportunities in the Polish market and Tarian fits in extremely well with the other products and services UMO offers.’
Arkadiusz Szuba, CEO, UMO, added: ‘UMO is very excited to be working alongside AmSafe Bridport to offer Tarian’s innovative technology to our Polish defence and security forces. We look forward to a fruitful future together.’
