WELCRON is expanding its presence in the global defense market through the supply of advanced ballistic protection solutions for armored vehicles exported to Saudi Arabia.

Building on its expertise in high-performance composite materials and personal protection products, WELCRON has expanded its defense capabilities into vehicle protection solutions, including lightweight ballistic armor and mine protection systems.

WELCRON’s advanced composite protection technologies are designed to provide the required level of protection while minimizing additional vehicle weight — a key consideration for maintaining mobility and operational performance.

The Saudi Arabia project represents an important reference for WELCRON’s expansion from personal protection into vehicle protection and demonstrates the company’s growing capabilities in advanced protection solutions for military platforms.

Based on its experience in engineering, manufacturing, quality management, and testing, WELCRON DEFENSE will continue to strengthen cooperation with global defense manufacturers and system integrators while pursuing new opportunities in international defense markets.
