Grenny Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 It is bad, but frankly the only way forward right now.The downside is that GE stupidly wants to stick to EU laws and rules(competition, free market and stuff)...while in france defence- is a state industry. Heavily shielded by the government.In this way it will be a very one sided union :-(edit:from the technological aspect, KMW will not gain much. The Only benefit for them would be Nexters customers base which might open more marked segments... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted July 30, 2015 Members Share Posted July 30, 2015 ...you got to say though that pretty much everywhere in Europe where defense industry was/is under heavy state influence, it has either perished or is in steady decline. Privately owned defense corporations have been under pressure from shrinking budgets, but they are largely still there, and still profitable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given the current market situation, "consolidation" is the way to go to survive.But as "customer", and with experience with other french or french-dominated companies...I hope that not to much changes in the workings with what was KMW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
