German submarine maker TKMS is teaming up with a domestic steel-forging company as it vies for a lucrative contract to supply the Canadian navy with new submarines.
TKMS says it inked a partnership with the Quebec-based forged-steel manufacturer Finkl Steel — Sorel to produce specialized stainless-steel materials for submarines.
It’s part of an overall strategy in the competition to include domestic companies in the submarine supply chain — even though they’re made in Germany.
Rival bidder Hanwha Oceans signed a major partnership with Sault Ste. Marie’s Algoma Steel earlier this year to buy steel from it to build subs and maintenance facilities — and spin up a new steel-beam mill.
The increasingly long list of partnerships the two rival sub makers are forging with various Canadian companies are largely contingent on winning Ottawa’s massive procurement contract for a fleet of new submarines.
Hanwha is sailing one of its KSS-III submarines from South Korea to Canada with members of the Canadian Navy to show it off, and it is expected to arrive in Victoria, B.C., in May.
