Sources
Exports to Israel
Each of the above companies report -- in Industry Canada's "Canadian Company
Capabilities" (CCC)
database -- that they have "Export Experience" with Israel. The information in
this government database is entered and updated by the companies themselves.
Summary of Main Military Products and/or Services
These descriptions of military products and/or
services provided by these companies summarise data found in a variety of
sources, primarily from the industries themselves, their websites and/or various corporate
and government databases promoting their work.
CADSI Membership
None of the companies above are current members of the Canadian Association
of Defence
and Security Industries
(CADSI). This is based on data from the "CADSI
Member Profiles Database" (accessed in early February, 2009).
Past CADSI membership is based on archived listings in the CADSI Member Profiles Database (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009), as well as membership listings for CADSI's predecessor organisation, the "Canadian Defence Industries Association" (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003). CADSI member listings for the years 2004 and 2005, as well as the pre-2000 CDIA lists are seemingly unavailable online. It is therefore possible that some of the above companies were members of CADSI / CDIA during those years for which data is publicly unavailable.
General Company Facts
This general information about the company is from Industry Canada's "Canadian Company Capabilities" (CCC)
database. This Canadian government database is maintained and
updated by the companies themselves.
"Sales" refers to total sales by company including all military and commercial
products/services sold within Canada or exported around the world.
"Exports" refers to all export sales of military and commercial
products/services sold around the world.
Notes:
** FAG Aerospace Inc.: This company originally reported in the CCC
database that it had "export experience" with Israel. However, on January 13,
2009, during the Israeli bombardment of Gaza, FAG updated its entry in CCC
database and deleted its earlier reference listing Israel as a country to which
it had exported. A Google
cache of the CCC web page dated January 6, 2009, reveals the original data
entry. The company's current entry in Industry Canada's CCC database can be
seen
here.
** KG Canada: In early February 2009, the entry in
the CCC database highlighted the company's consulting work with "Hi Tech Israeli companies,"
saying:
"Our company is focusing on representations, business development and
distribution of advanced Hi Tech Israeli companies, including Data applications
,IT Security Systems , Homeland Security, telecommunications prodcuts [sic] and
systems and telemetry solutions for smart metering applications."
However, by February 19, the reference to "Hi Tech Israeli companies" had been deleted.
This web page is part of an online report called:
Canadian
Military Exports to Israel: Aiding and Abetting War Crimes
in Gaza (2008-2009).
The report includes 10 detailed tables filled with data detailing about 200 Canadian military companies that have direct or indirect export links to Israel.
Prepared by the Ottawa-based Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade (COAT) -- this report is part of a campaign to expose and oppose CANSEC 2009, Canada's largest military industry trade show.
