VISSENBJERG, DENMARK – TenCate Advanced Armour Danmark A/S has won a contract to supply of lightweight composite armor to Nexter Systems.

 

The armor system protects vehicle occupants against the effects of blasts, fragments and projectiles. The solution is engineered to fit the Nexter vehicle platform. No financial details were published.

 

Following this significant order from Nexter Systems to TenCate, the French ambassador to Denmark, François Zimeray, visited the Ten Cate Advanced Armor facilities in Denmark on May 15. Upon a request from the French Embassy, TenCate was singled out by Nexter as an example of how Danish Industry stands to benefit from Nexter’s involvement in the armored personnel carriers (APC) and artillery procurement projects currently being undertaken by Denmark.
