LAAD 2015: ST Kinetics Brazil subsidiary makes debut
Brazilian maintenance, repair and overhaul specialists Technicae will make their debut at this year’s LAAD exhibition in Rio de Janeiro, two years after being acquired by the Singapore-based company ST Kinetics.
ST Kinetics, the land systems arm of Singapore Technologies Engineering, acquired Technicae in 2013 to expand its presence in Brazil and the rest of Latin America.
The company will use LAAD to showcase its mobility and firepower upgrade solutions specifically tailored for Brazilian and Latin American land platforms.
Technicae has already achieved some notable successes including the modernisation of the Brazilian Army’s EE-11 Urutu 6x6 Armoured Personnel Carrier fleet.
