The acquisition will allow Lohia, which is headquartered in Kanpur, India, to combine its engineering experience with new technologies to deliver high-quality products to its customers, Lohia said in a statement.
With the support of its operations in India, Lohia will seek to make Israel a key export hub to American and European markets.
“We believe this marks the beginning of our growth in this sector on a global scale,” Lohia director Anurag Lohia said. “We will continue to look at other synergistic opportunities in this space towards our aim to be a key participant in the global defence and aerospace domain.”
