Swedish steel producer Swebor Stal Svenska AB and armored vehicle maker Roshel Inc. are joining forces to establish Canada’s first facility entirely dedicated to producing ballistic-grade steel.

The companies signed a partnership agreement in Sweden during a visit by Canadian Industry Minister Melanie Joly, who’s trying to attract investment in tariff-hit sectors and build up the country’s defense industrial base.
