MUMBAI (PTI): Integrated ship-building facility Pipavav Shipyard on Friday said it has signed an agreement with SAAB Dynamics AB, part of Sweden's Wallenberg Group, to tap opportunities in India's defence segment.
"We are enthused to be chosen by SAAB Dynamics AB as their Indian co-production and strategic partner to tap the opportunities in the Army, Navy and Air force segments," Pipavav Shipyard Chairman Nikhil Gandhi said in a statement here.
He said through this partnership the company will have access to the Wallenberg Group's technology for products in the defence and aerospace sectors.
"With this engagement, we will now be able to cater to the entire gamut of the defence services sector, which we expect should augment performance going forward," he said.
