TORONTO — INKAS®, a Canadian armoured vehicle manufacturer and systems integrator, announces a major expansion of its North American manufacturing footprint, with three additional production facilities across Canada and the United States expected to be in full operation by July 31, 2026, according to a press release from the company.
The three newly leased facilities are reportedly comprised of a mix of manufacturing and production space, with approximately 42,000 square feet at an additional Toronto facility in Canada, 200,000 square feet at an armoured vehicle production facility in Charlotte, North Carolina, and 31,000 square feet for a first-time facility in Florida at Fort Pierce.
The expanded footprint is meant to provide INKAS® with greater production flexibility, additional manufacturing capacity, and a stronger operational platform to support both current and future programs across its armoured vehicle, tactical platform, drone / UAV, and special purpose vehicle portfolios.
“This expansion marks an important milestone in the continued growth of INKAS® as a North American manufacturer,” said David Khazanski, CEO of INKAS®. “By adding significant production space across Canada and the United States, we are strengthening our ability to support customers with reliable, scalable, and mission-ready security and defence solutions. This investment reflects our confidence in the long-term demand for advanced protected mobility, unmanned systems, and specialized platforms.”
“Beyond expanding our production footprint, this investment is about creating skilled jobs, supporting local economies, and building long-term manufacturing capability in North America,” said Margarita Simkin, Chairwoman of INKAS®. “As these facilities come online, they will create opportunities for engineers, technicians, production specialists, and support teams across Canada and the United States. We believe that investing in people and manufacturing infrastructure is essential to building a stronger, more resilient security and defence industry.”
INKAS’® portfolio includes discreet armoured SUVs and sedans, tactical vehicles, armoured personnel carriers, drones / UAVs, cash-in-transit vehicles, and custom-built special purpose platforms for clients around the world.
