BAE Systems to set up new base in Jordan

The UK company said in a statement that the office will complement the network of offices the company operates across the Middle East and Africa and will be used as the focal point for business in Jordan and neighboring countries.

It is expected to be fully operational by the end of the year and will support BAE’s ongoing business with the Jordanian Armed Forces and collaborative activities with the King Abdullah Design and Development Bureau (KADDB).

Jeff McCray, Regional Vice President Africa and Near East, said: “This move underlines our commitment to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and developing business prospects in the region.”
