G21’s manufacturing strength secures historic $1b defence contract
G21 congratulates the Federal Government on the announcement of a $1 billion contract with Hanwha Defense Australia to establish operations in Geelong. Our region’s advanced manufacturing credentials played a key role in securing this significant project.
The government will partner with Hanwha to create an Armoured Vehicle Centre of Excellence, creating 300 jobs in our region and establishing a further strategic defence industry hub and export opportunities.
Work on the new facility is expected to commence in 2022.
