Tulmar Safety Systems Selected for Team Canada Delegation to MSPO 2026

August 27, 2026

Hawkesbury, ON –Tulmar Safety Systems Inc. has been selected by Global Affairs Canada to participate in the official Team Canada delegation to the 34th International Defence Industry Exhibition (MSPO) in Kielce, Poland, where Canada will serve as Lead Nation.

MSPO, taking place September 8–11, is one of Europe’s largest defence and security exhibitions and brings together military and government representatives and defence industry organizations from NATO and allied countries.

For Tulmar, MSPO is part of a broader strategy to expand its presence in European defence markets and strengthen relationships with military end users, defence primes and industry partners in Poland and other NATO countries.

“Being selected for the Team Canada delegation gives Tulmar an important opportunity to demonstrate what a Canadian defence manufacturer can bring to allied partners,” said Ève Léveillé, Marketing Leader at Tulmar. “With Canada serving as Lead Nation, our focus at MSPO will be on strengthening existing relationships across Europe and developing new ones in Poland and other NATO markets.”

Tulmar has developed an international track record in personal flotation, tactical equipment, survivability systems and specialized protective solutions. Current programs include a contract to supply more than 12,000 Galeo and Borneo personal flotation systems to the British Armed Forces. The company has also supplied more than 46,000 personal flotation devices to the Canadian Armed Forces since 2007.

Tulmar has maintained a 29-year relationship with General Dynamics Land Systems–Canada and was named Supplier of the Year for Innovation and Technology by GDLS–Canada in 2026. The company also partners with Saab Barracuda to design and manufacture military protection and survivability solutions.

At MSPO, Tulmar will present capabilities in tactical personal flotation, counter-UAS and non-kinetic protection, soldier and vehicle protection, and specialized engineering and manufacturing.

A five-member Tulmar delegation will attend the exhibition to meet with military representatives, government officials and defence industry partners from Poland and other NATO countries.

Tulmar’s design, engineering and manufacturing operations are based in Hawkesbury, Ontario, Canada.
