What happened at Roshel in Brampton on March 17, 2026?
According to the official National Defence announcement, Minister McGuinty visited the Roshel production facility in Brampton to highlight how Canadian industry is supporting Ukraine through the production of armoured vehicles for Ukraine’s Armed Forces.
The visit followed the Minister’s February 24, 2026 announcement that 383 Senator armoured vehicles manufactured by Roshel would be provided to Ukraine as part of Canada’s $6.5 billion military aid package.
During the visit, Minister McGuinty met with Roman Shimonov, CEO of Roshel, and observed production of the Canadian-manufactured vehicles being used by Ukraine’s Armed Forces.
The visit underscored the importance of Canadian industry in delivering and sustaining critical defence capabilities for Ukraine.
The event took place at Roshel Smart Armored Vehicles, 255 Biscayne Crescent, Brampton, Ontario.
Why this Roshel announcement matters
This was not just a facility tour.
It was a clear example of how Canadian manufacturing, Ontario skilled labour, and Brampton-based production are contributing to international security and defence support.
Roshel’s Senator armoured vehicles have been used widely by Ukraine’s Armed Forces since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
Ongoing engagement with Ukrainian forces continues to inform improvements based on operational experience.
The official release notes that Roshel supports almost 500 workers in Ontario, while company leadership highlighted support for close to 500 jobs in Brampton and Mississauga.
Since February 2022, Canada has committed more than $25.5 billion in overall aid to Ukraine, including $8.5 billion in military assistance.
Canada had also previously donated 200 Roshel Senator armoured vehicles, valued at more than $90 million.
For Brampton, this places local production at the centre of a globally relevant story.
For Roshel, it reinforces trust, operational credibility, and visibility at both the Canadian and international level.
