Europe’s Defence Surge Fuels Demand for Complex Logistics Solutions

A new era of defence investment is underway across the UK and Europe, with military spending hitting historic highs and production ramping up to meet NATO targets and national security goals. 

The UK’s defence budget is set to rise to 2.5% of GDP by the end of the decade, and manufacturers are scaling up output of armoured vehicles, ammunition, and advanced technologies.

This industrial mobilisation is creating an equally significant need for logistics partners with the capability to manage complex, high-risk, and highly regulated supply chains. From secure warehousing and cross-border compliance to the movement of dual-use goods and sensitive equipment, defence production requires a logistics infrastructure that is secure, scalable, and specialist.
