Headquartered in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Paramount was formed in South Africa in 1994 with the bold goal of helping African governments better protect their countries. Today, we’re a global corporation, leading the way in global defence and aerospace innovation. We have more than 3000 employees, working with sovereign governments across five continents and manufacturing in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
We believe that our unique, solutions-focused approach has contributed enormously to our success. Many companies manufacture products and then take them to market. Paramount starts by assessing the security and defence challenges faced by the governments and agencies we work with. We then apply our unparalleled knowledge, wealth of experience and vast capabilities to craft world-class solutions to directly address these needs.
Our competitive edge allows us to source the best products and technologies through our global network of partners and suppliers. This makes us the unrivalled supplier of security, peacekeeping and defence packages to a variety of markets.
Portable manufacturing
Our revolutionary portable manufacturing model allows for in-country manufacturing. This in turn facilitates the transfer of technology and skills, and the creation of local employment.
Flexible finance Solutions
We provide a wide range of funding structures, compliant with IMF and World Bank requirements, which enable clients to procure affordable, best in class equipment and services.
CHALLENGING CONVENTION
We embrace state-of-the-art technology and clean-sheet design. Through continuous innovation, we are able to develop tailor-made solutions to even the most challenging requirements.
DEFENDING THE DEFENDERS SINCE 1994
We are proud to be growing an impeccable legacy of protecting and saving lives, transferring technology, developing skills, and contributing to global stability, peace and economic growth.
We are paramount
Over the years, Paramount has recruited many of the world’s leading experts in design, engineering, manufacturing, logistics and project management. We have an exceptional team, and are proud of our reputation, our many achievements and world-firsts.
But we don’t do it alone. We’ve built solid relationships and formed valuable partnerships with governments, agencies and defence organisations in more than 30 countries
around the world.
Paramount actively contributes towards design enhancement and product development on behalf of leading edge companies internationally and then integrates those designs and developments into solutions. Clients have the assurance of dealing with one supplier while having access to Paramount’s world-wide network of products and services.
Behind our innovations, advancements and global success, is an attitude inspired by our African heart, and a can-do attitude that continually challenges the status quo.
