Yesterday Ambassador Teesalu visited the opening ceremony of a new production line of Milrem Robotics, a defense company with Estonian roots which is currently active all over the world.
Milrem Robotics, a global leader in robotics and autonomous systems, together with Dutch company VDL Defentec, has officially launched a production line for THeMIS unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) in Born, the Netherlands. At the opening event, the first THeMIS vehicles produced in the Netherlands were transferred to the Dutch government, which will send them on to Ukraine.
The new production line was created to support the Netherlands-funded supply of more than 100 THeMIS UGVs to Ukraine. Deliveries are being managed by Milrem Robotics’ Dutch subsidiary in partnership with VDL Defentec.
Milrem Robotics develops robotics and autonomous systems worldwide, with offices in Estonia, Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Poland, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates.
