Sensor specialist HENSOLDT has emphasised the importance of cooperation at state level for ongoing efforts to equip the German Armed Forces and its allies in NATO and the EU. During a visit by Minister President Winfried Kretschmann to HENSOLDT's Ulm site, CEO Oliver Dörre said: "Our main customers – above all the German Armed Forces – have an urgent need for high-performance defence systems. To meet this demand, we have invested in the expansion and development of additional production capacities at several sites in Baden-Württemberg and recruited additional staff. Here in Ulm, it is clear that we are developing key technologies that protect our country and our soldiers, not least with the support of the state government."
