European Missile Giant Expands Production Amid Rising Demand
European missile giant MBDA plans to invest €5 billion and hire 2,800 new workers over the next five years to increase weapons production, CEO Eric Béranger announced during the firm’s 2025 results. The company reported €5.8 billion in revenues and a record order backlog of €44.4 billion. MBDA is responding to rising demand for its missile systems, driven by the conflict in Iran and increasing tensions in the Middle East.
