The partnership was first signed in 2015 and both companies wish to reinforce this commitment today to develop Colombian defence capabilities through the combinations of synergies of both portfolios. The deal, signed by both companies’ executives, Ruben Lazo and Jorge Enrique Carreño Moreno, also aims to evaluate new opportunities in the naval sector particularly such as combat systems, command and control
systems, communications and information systems, sonars and radars.

With more than 50 years of experience as a provider of naval equipment, systems and services, Thales offers naval forces around the world unrivalled expertise and proven operational solutions to support their big ambitions. Cotecmar has the purpose of leading the scientific and technological development of the Colombian National Navy, promoting the naval, maritime and fluvial industry throughout Latin America.
