Inmize is born in Spain. (Digest).
A new Spanish company dedicated to missile technology has recently
been established after several months of intense negotiations within the
framework of the European Defence Industry. Through an agreement with
the major shareholders, Indra holding 40 percent, MBDA with 40 per cent
share, Izar with a 10 per cent stake, and Eads/Casa the other 10
percent, Inmize has taken shape as Spain's centre of excellence in
missile systems. The operative seat of Inmize will be within Indra. The
company's first contract participation will be associated with the
design and development of the Meteor air superiority missile, destined
for the Eurofighter, Rafale and Gripen. The Meteor programme is financed
by Spain, France, Germany, Britain, Italy and Sweden, and it is planned
that these nations will acquire more than 2500 Meteor missiles, bringing
the total contract amounts in excess of four billion Euros.
