Hanwha Ocean Visits Spartec Composites to Discuss CPSP Collaboration

Spartec Composites Inc. is pleased to host a delegation from Hanwha Ocean at its facility in Erin, Ontario. The visit marks a significant step in ongoing collaboration discussions regarding Hanwha Ocean’s intent to explore Spartec as a key Canadian composites manufacturing partner for the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP). The discussions are part of a national evaluation process conducted by Hanwha Ocean to identify high-capability Canadian partners. Any future formal partnership remains subject to the Government of Canada’s procurement process and the finalization of definitive agreements between the parties. If Hanwha Ocean is awarded the CPSP submarine contract, Spartec would be positioned to support the program with its industry-leading advanced composite structures and manufacturing expertise. “We are pleased to welcome the Hanwha Ocean delegation to our facility to showcase our advanced manufacturing capabilities,” said James Countouris, President of Spartec Composites. “This visit represents a meaningful opportunity to discuss how our expertise in composites can support Hanwha Ocean’s vision for the CPSP, potentially bringing transformative growth to Spartec and Wellington County.”

The proposed collaboration holds the potential to generate an estimated 70–100 new skilled manufacturing jobs in Wellington County. This would significantly strengthen the advanced manufacturing ecosystem within the region’s rural economic zone. Spartec acknowledges the continued support of Michael Chong, MP for Wellington–Halton Hills, and Wellington County officials, whose commitment has been vital to the growth of advanced manufacturing in the area.
