The Atlas Elektronik Group, a worldwide-acting company for maritime defence electronics, has founded a subsidiary in Canada. Atlas Elektronik Canada Ltd has been set up to establish a strong and reliable partnership with the Royal Canadian Navy and Canadian authorities. As potential main contractor, Atlas Elektronik Canada will provide Atlas products and solutions for current and future Canadian users.

For decades, now Atlas has been offering a broad range of sonars and sensors, command and control systems for submarines and surface combatants, heavyweight torpedoes and corresponding countermeasures, mine warfare systems, unmanned underwater vehicles, as well as coastal surveillance systems. To round off its broad palette, Atlas offers a comprehensive range of support services, both before and after delivery of the products.

Dieter Rottsieper and Volker Paltzo, Managing Directors of the Atlas Elektronik Group, stated: “We believe in a strong demand for Atlas products and capabilities to support Royal Canadian Navy. We are happy to extend our presence in Canada and to establish a subsidiary. We look forward to creating new partnerships with Canadian authorities and companies”.

Rick Gerbrecht, Head of Atlas Elektronik Canada said: “The Atlas Elektronik Group possesses a proud heritage in serving navies with quality-assured products delivered within a firm fixed-price environment. Our product portfolio will offer the Royal Canadian Navy both ‘non-orphan’ and mature capability into either warships or crafts of opportunity. We are positioned to deliver proven and leading solutions in areas such as mine detection and disposal, sonar, command and control in support of the Royal Canadian Navy and the National Shipbuilding as well as Procurement Strategy effort.”
