Hanwha Aerospace Pitches “Built with Europe, for Europe” at NATO Ankara Forum
At the NATO Defence Industry Forum in Ankara on July 8, Hanwha Aerospace promoted a “Built with Europe, for Europe” strategy to fuel the continent's rearmament, emphasizing local manufacturing, European suppliers, technology transfer, sustainment capacity, and long-term industrial investment rather than deliveries shipped solely from South Korea. The pitch positions Hanwha as a co-production partner for NATO members expanding artillery, air defense, and munitions capacity, complementing the Korea–NATO procurement pact talks opened at the summit and Hanwha's existing European footprint in Poland, Romania, and Estonia.
