Innovative Alliance: EDGE Group and CONDOR Pioneering Non-Lethal Safety Solutions in the UAE
Abu Dhabi, UAE: 12 September 2024 – EDGE, one of the world’s leading advanced technology and defense enterprises, has introduced a joint business strategy with its segment CONDOR, a worldwide leader in non-lethal developments, aimed at establishing new non-lethal production and specialized training facilities in the UAE.
Announced during a visit by CONDOR’s Board of Directors to Abu Dhabi, these new strategic hubs will provide state-of-the-art non-lethal solutions and services to surrounding regions. Additionally, these installations will position the UAE as an export hub for highly-specialized defense, homeland security, and sovereignty capabilities.
Hamad Al Marar, EDGE Group Managing Director & CEO, expressed: “In alignment with the national ‘Make it in the Emirates’ initiative, this significant achievement enables us to harness the synergies between our organizations for the benefit of end-users in the pursuit of enhanced public safety. Our aspirations regarding this partnership with CONDOR are ambitious, and we trust in the company’s exceptional potential, further enhancing its global reputation and proficiency. Together with EDGE in Brazil, and now in the UAE, we are confident that they will elevate the company to the next tier of international expansion and innovation.”
Frederico Aguiar, CEO of CONDOR, stated: “Rooted in decades of experience, we will develop a functional framework that addresses the unique defense, homeland security, and sovereignty challenges confronted by our clients in the region. Our mission here is to share our expertise in non-lethal technologies and our experience in collaboratively formulating solutions and services with end-users that facilitate the prudent and appropriate use of force as needed to maintain sovereignty.”
The joint business strategy marks the latest progress in EDGE Group’s ongoing effort to localize advanced technology and industrial capabilities. Earlier this year, EDGE Group obtained a 51 percent stake in CONDOR, unlocking new pathways for sustainable global growth and innovative development.
