An armour technology manufacturer that is majority owned by a First Nation community in Saskatchewan is delivering on large defence contracts with Canada and the U.K.

NP Aerospace, jointly owned by the Pasqua First Nation and company CEO James Kempston, won a $106-million contract with the U.K. Ministry of Defence in January, to maintain and upgrade a fleet of armoured vehicles.

According to an NP Aerospace press release issued Thursday, the contract ensures the vehicles “are upgraded to the highest standards and remain ready for combat.” “It is vital that we continue to invest in our battle-winning capabilities, ensuring that they are always ready for training or operational purposes. Given its significant role now and in the future, I am pleased we are partnering with NP Aerospace to deliver this contract.”

“Having NP Aerospace centrally managing the collaborative program and the full fleet of vehicles creates efficiency through component and system commonality,” said Kempston. “We look forward to applying this experience to our future innovative work with MoD and our other customers around the world.”

FBMCanada The establishment is intent on using diversity and leftist social justice politics to dupe progressive rubes into supporting corporate capitalism and the military industrial complex, and every one of these people should be condemned whether they live in a bloody teepee or not.

Its always about race, isnt it CTV? Who cares if first nations owns a business. You saying its a miracle natives can complete something? Thats pretty racist.

Good 👍 I hope they continue to succeed in the future 🙂
