Canadian armored vehicle manufacturer and systems integrator Inkas announced a major expansion that includes three additional production facilities across Canada and the U.S. The company expects the projects to more than double its production space across North America, with the sites scheduled to be in full operation by July 31.
The three newly leased facilities are comprised of a mix of manufacturing and production space, with approximately 42,000 square feet at an additional Toronto facility, 200,000 square feet at an armored vehicle production facility in Charlotte, North Carolina, and 31,000 square feet for a first-time facility in Florida at Fort Pierce.
Inkas anticipates the expanded footprint will support both current and future programs across its armored vehicle, tactical platform, drone/UAV and special purpose vehicle portfolios.
“This investment is about creating skilled jobs, supporting local economies and building long-term manufacturing capability in North America,” Inkas Chairwoman Margarita Simkin said. “As these facilities come online, they will create opportunities for engineers, technicians, production specialists and support teams across Canada and the United States.”
Inkas' portfolio includes discreet armored SUVs and sedans, tactical vehicles, armored personnel carriers, drones/UAVs, cash-in-transit vehicles and custom-built special purpose platforms for clients around the world.
