Toronto-based armoured vehicle maker INKAS expands production

TORONTO — A Canadian maker of armoured vehicles says it is about to double its production footprint in North America as it expands work at locations in Canada and the U.S.

INKAS says it is investing tens of millions of dollars in three large production facilities — one in Toronto and two in the United States — in response to demand from law enforcement agencies for its armoured vehicles.

CEO David Khazanski says for decades, his firm has primarily focused on supplying law enforcement and the banking industry with its products.

But it has been growing its defence profile in recent years and supplied massive numbers of drones to the Ukrainian market since Russia invaded in 2022.
