HENSOLDT employs a few dozen staff in Algeria for a project there.
Secure borders
Algeria borders Niger, where the jihadist terrorist group Boko Haram is still causing unrest. The German Foreign Office has expressly warned against travel to Niger. In order to contain weapon and people smuggling in particular, we at HENSOLDT support Algeria in border security.
Vehicles, pedestrians or low-flying objects are automatically detected and can be observed day and night.
Networked via software, the radar, optronics and radio systems involved offer an integrated solution for protecting large swathes of Algeria’s border.
Successful start in North Africa
The joint venture set up in Algeria in 2014 is one shining example of this. HENSOLDT indirectly holds 49 per cent of this joint venture, SCAFSE (Société Commune Algérienne de Fabrication de Systèmes Électroniques), while other shares are held by an Algerian stateowned company and a local computer company. The joint venture has enabled HENSOLDT to set up its own production facility in Algeria. The products manufactured there are making an important contribution to maintaining security in the region as Algeria is considered an anchor of stability in the Maghreb.
This means that a partnership that benefits all parties involved has developed in the best spirit of a joint venture. HENSOLDT has gained access to the market and already generated a substantial revenue with radars and optronics over the years. In return, Algeria has obtained urgently needed expertise and thus can train local employees and secure its own borders (see box: Secure borders).
