FORCIT Group Acquires DA-Group’s Underwater Business

FORCIT Group has signed an agreement acquiring the underwater technology business of DA-Group.

This is a strategic step for FORCIT Group, that complements FORCIT Defence’s position as a supplier of total defence systems for area denial on land and at sea. With this step forward we bring together under one roof advanced knowledge and technology related to insensitive munitions, mechanics, electronics, and software for our relevant defence applications.

“FORCIT and DA-Group have had successful cooperation in the field of underwater defence. This acquisition is a significant leap for FORCIT and will enable us to further innovate and stay in the frontline of development of advanced influence sea mine systems. With the new and strengthened team, we are well positioned to be the global technology leader and preferred partner for sea denial systems”, says Joakim Westerlund, CEO at FORCIT Group.
