STRENGTHENING THE ALLIANCE

CSG Is Helping to Rebuild NATO's Arsenal

Taking the lead by delivering millions of shells to Ukraine and expanding munitions and energetics production across the Alliance. CSG is not waiting for the threat to materialise, we are acting now.

A VISION FOR PARTNERSHIP

A New Partner for the United Kingdom

CSG's ambition is to bring its mission of rebuilding NATO stockpiles to the UK. With the Strategic Defence Review's aim of creating an 'always-on' munitions pipeline, there is strong alignment between CSG's mission, values, and expertise and the UK's requirements.

CSG will invest in the UK to deliver the urgent capability needs of the Armed Forces and set up new lines of production that will deliver long-term industrial resilience, a stronger domestic supply chain, and economic growth. Working closely with the MOD, we will drive forward research and development, seize export opportunities, and create jobs.

Together, this partnership will deliver the ambitions of the SDR, strengthen relations with Europe, reindustrialise the economy, remove vulnerabilities in the UK's resilience, and create the sovereign munitions capability needed for the UK to be warfighting ready.

OUR UK OPERATIONS

Already Here.
Ready to Grow.

Lyalvale Express, a CSG small arms ammunition company based in the West Midlands, provides the Group with an existing base of operations in the UK.

The facility has a yearly small arms ammunition capacity of over 600 million rounds. The 29-acre site can expand by over 100 acres and already contains 24 licensed buildings with the capacity to store 1,271 tonnes of explosives – making it an immediate and credible launchpad for a broader UK production partnership with the MOD.

CEO PERSPECTIVE

Mobility Defines Survival

Mobile artillery has proven to be the key to battlefield success, with an increasing focus on survivability as towed systems remain vulnerable to modern counter-battery fire - a reality clearly demonstrated in Ukraine.
