Made in Europe. Kept in Europe.
Europe’s defence cannot depend on supply chains it does not control. We are building ours to stay inside the European Economic Area.
An EEA-only supply chain
We are building our supply chain from EEA suppliers of materials, equipment and services wherever they exist, and we will be open about it where they do not exist yet.
Built in Lithuania
Lithuania gives us engineering talent, an industrial base and a place on NATO’s eastern flank, close to where Europe’s defence needs are most immediate.
Why Kirnis
In Lithuanian mythology, Kirnis was the guardian of the cherry trees that grew by the hill-forts. His task was to protect what belonged to the fortress. We have taken on the same task: protecting Europe’s ability to make what defends it.
