SIATT, a leading Brazilian defense technology company, inaugurated its new headquarters in São José dos Campos, coinciding with the company’s 10th anniversary. The 6,000-square-meter facility integrates administrative and engineering offices, laboratories, and production lines, boosting the company’s capacity to deliver advanced defense systems.
The event gathered senior civilian and military authorities, including São Paulo’s Vice Governor Felício Ramuth, Brazilian Navy Commander Admiral Marcos Sampaio Olsen, Anderson Farias, Mayor of São José dos Campos, and Hamad Al Marrar, CEO of EDGE Group, SIATT’s strategic partner.
Strengthening Brazil’s Defense Industry
SIATT CEO Rogério Salvador emphasized that the new facility enhances the company’s ability to develop advanced technologies for the Brazilian Armed Forces. Current contracts include missile systems to safeguard the “Blue Amazon” and territorial defense initiatives.
Salvador highlighted the importance of the company’s workforce and strategic partnerships:
“This inauguration is not about buildings, but about people… More than cutting a ribbon, we are opening a path built hand in hand, with united hearts, possible dreams, and new achievements. The future has arrived!”
Key Programs and Strategic Partnerships
Founded in 2015, SIATT specializes in defense and security systems, focusing on missiles, weaponry, and embedded technologies. Its main projects include:

To expand production, SIATT is also building a new factory in Caçapava, meeting growing demand domestically and abroad.
EDGE Group Partnership
In 2023, Abu Dhabi–based EDGE Group acquired a 50% stake in SIATT. This partnership strengthens Brazil’s defense autonomy and positions SIATT as a global player in defense technology. The collaboration enhances export capacity and joint development of advanced systems, benefiting both Brazil and allied nations.
