Consolidating Leonardo‘s position as a key player in the land defence sector. This is the objective of the Iveco Defence’s acquisition, which enables the Group to strengthen its role as an integrated Original Equipment Manufacturer, with a portfolio of complete solutions for defence and security, on tracked and wheeled platforms.
As Roberto Cingolani explains, the operation represents “a key milestone in the execution of our inorganic growth strategy and supports the full implementation of our Industrial Plan.” It will also boost joint commercial positioning, leveraging the complementary nature of the two companies’ sales networks and the ability to offer integrated solutions in high-potential markets.
The integration of Leonardo’s electronic systems with Iveco Defence vehicles will ensure the utmost effectiveness of the proposed operational solutions. The highly specialised know-how in their respective verticals, combined with robust logistics and manufacturing capabilities, will drive greater operational efficiency and accelerate joint technological development, while also creating new opportunities for professional skill development and talent enhancement.
