Thyssenkrupp, Embraer to build four frigates for Brazil Navy

FRANKFURT/DUESSELDORF/BRASILIA (Reuters) - A consortium formed by Germany’s Thyssenkrupp AG (TKAG.DE) and Brazilian planemaker Embraer SA (EMBR3.SA) signed a deal on Thursday to deliver four frigates to Brazil’s navy between 2025 and 2028, the companies said in a statement.

The contract signed in Rio de Janeiro is part of Brazil’s drive to modernize its navy so it can patrol off-shore resources in the Atlantic, such as Brazil’s vast pre-salt oil reserves.

The companies did not disclose the price tag. The Brazilian navy website said the four-ship program will cost about $2 billion. [...] “The Tamandaré Class Programme will strengthen our ties by transferring technology and generating highly qualified jobs for the country,” said Rolf Wirtz, CEO of Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (TKMS).

A majority stake in TKMS, which has an enterprise value of about 525 million euros ($587 million) according to Credit Suisse estimates, could be sold in an ongoing restructuring process of the group, Thyssenkrupp has said.

TKMS is Germany’s second-largest defense group after Rheinmetall (RHMG.DE), which, along with France’s Naval Group, has been mentioned as a potential buyer of the unit in the past.
