MS International announces defense collaboration with Australian firm

LONDON - MS International plc (LSE:MSI) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Australian company Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited to work collaboratively in the defense and security sector, Executive Chairman Michael Bell announced at the company’s Annual General Meeting on Wednesday.

During the AGM, Bell noted that Electro Optic Systems (EOS), which specializes in technology for weapons systems optimization and integration, had confirmed the collaboration when announcing their quarterly results last Friday. No further details about the partnership were provided due to the sensitive nature of defense contracts.

Bell also provided updates on the company’s other divisions. The Forgings business is reportedly "well positioned" despite ongoing uncertainty regarding steel tariffs, particularly due to its US manufacturing capabilities. The Petrol Station Superstructures division has met its short-term financial targets, while the Corporate Branding division in the UK has secured a record orderbook.

The chairman highlighted that the Corporate Branding business in the Netherlands achieved profitability in both May and June for the first time in several years, which he attributed to "a strong and broad sales strategy across a variety of sectors."

Bell also revealed that following his June Final Results statement, MS International received an improved offer from a party interested in acquiring the company’s Forgings, Petrol Station Superstructures, and Corporate Branding divisions. The board rejected this revised offer, believing it still undervalued these businesses.
