Ministry of Defence awards Patria Certifications

This certification simplifies the licensing procedures for the transfer of defence-related products within the EU and makes it easier for the Certified enterprises to obtain materiel. ”The Certification demonstrates that Patria is a reliable, experienced and important operator in the defence industry. In practice, the Certification will greatly expedite the obtaining of various components, which will have a major impact on production, delivery schedules and, consequently, the company's competitiveness. A few large European defence materiel manufacturers hold corresponding certifications,” says Mika Kari, President, Land Systems at Patria. The Commission maintains a public central register of recipients certified by Member States on the Certider website.   This article was published in the Patria magazine in June 2014.
