Canadian Company Selected to Develop Business Relationships in Ukraine

Metcalfe & Associates Business Consultants has been approved to coordinate business opportunities between Canadian aerospace / space and defence companies interested in working with Ukroboronprom in Ukraine. Ukroboronprom is a Ukraine State Enterprise that operates over 100 commercial and military equipment production and support services facilities throughout Ukraine. 

Metcalfe & Associates Business Consultants is an aerospace and defence consulting and international project development firm established 1990, and a long-time member of the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI). 

Metcalfe & Associates Business Consultants is working with the export arm of Ukroboronprom, SpetsTechno Export and individual Ukroboronprom business units to develop relations with Canadian companies. We are looking initially to Canadian Companies that can bring western production processes and methodologies to assist Ukroboronprom with facilities’ updating / modernization and worker training programs in order to bring key operations up to western standards and compliance.

The conversion of Ukraine's defence industrial base to western production processes and methodologies is a priority for the Government of Ukraine. “We have already begun speaking with leading aerospace and defence companies about establishing relationships with Ukroboronprom and their business units involved in land, sea, air and space products and we are now opening the door to all Canadian companies that have an interest in this exciting and important initiative,” said Brian Metcalfe, President of Metcalfe & Associates Business Consultants.
