Belgian John Cockerill plans to resume production of armored vehicles as part of the European rearmament plan

 

As Europe moves forward with a massive 800 billion euro rearmament plan, the Belgian John Cockerill group confirms its ambitions to resume production of armored vehicles on Belgian soil.

Its CEO, Francois Michel, confirmed the company's interest in large-scale production, drawing on decades of experience in manufacturing turrets for NATO light tanks. The stated goal is to restore domestic production in Belgium, an industrial challenge that the country has not addressed for more than a generation.
