REDARC, PUI sign teaming agreement, citing AUKUS objectives

Electronics design-to-manufacture business REDARC Defence & Space has announced a strategic teaming agreement with Projects Unlimited Inc. (PUI), a USA-based aerospace and defence electronics manufacturing services provider, which the Australian company says “directly contribut[es] to the shared objectives of the AUKUS partnership”.

In a statement on Thursday (Australian time), REDARC said the collaboration will extend advanced manufacturing and engineering operations for both businesses.

REDARC could leverage Projects Unlimited Inc.’s U.S. manufacturing presence — including expertise in circuit card assemblies, box build integration, and cable & wiring solutions — it said. 

“For defence clients, this means faster access to REDARC Defence & Space’s mission-critical power solutions, built to the highest standards within the U.S. supply chain.”

Anthony Kittel, CEO of parent company REDARC Electronics and founder/Managing Director of REDARC Defence & Space, said the teaming agreement is pivotal for the company and its commitment to the US market. 

“Partnering with PUI enables us to more efficiently support our customers and enhance supply chain resilience,” said Kittel. 

“PUI’s deep expertise and unwavering commitment to quality make them the ideal partner to bring our robust defence solutions closer to where they’re needed, fostering innovation and industrial cooperation central to AUKUS, and ensuring the seamless development and deployment of critical technologies.” 

Chris Wyse, the third-generation family president and CEO of PUI, added: “The Australian defence industry has revolutionary new technologies that can be integrated into US platforms through pillar 2 of AUKUS. 

“PUI has experience partnering with companies like REDARC to successfully transition manufacturing to the U.S. in compliance with all governmental regulations.”
