Sintx Armor manufactures the plates and ships them to NP Canada which then assembles the plates? Is that how it would go?

GM Defense LLC, a subsidiary of General Motors (GM), and NP Aerospace signed a collaborative Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop cooperative research and development, post-production support, and global logistics and sustainment for integrated vehicles, power and propulsion, autonomy and connectivity, fuel cell, power generation, system integration and platform integration. Company leaders signed the MOU during the Defense and Security Equipment International (DSEI) 2023.

On August 12, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to cease efforts to make the armor plant operational. This decision was made to streamline operations and focus on core business areas that align with the Company’s long-term strategic goals. The armor plant has not been fully operational since the acquisition of the armor equipment in July 2021 and has been completely shut down since October 2023 due to the malfunctioning of the sintering furnace.
