CellCore Technologies Signs Strategic Memorandum of Understanding With Verkan AB to Strengthen Allied Resilience

KELOWNA, BC / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2026 / Canada and its allies are today dependent on a limited number of foreign suppliers of nitrocellulose and critical input materials for the defence industry. By building relationships with partners who share the ambition of strengthened sovereign and allied capability, CellCore aims to contribute to greater security of supply across the entire value chain.

"This partnership is an important step in building next-generation sovereign manufacturing capacity. By sharing knowledge and experience with Verkan, we strengthen not only our own capability but the resilience of our allies. Strong domestic capacity is not just an economic advantage, it is a strategic imperative," says David Brough, CEO of CellCore Technologies.

"This is an important milestone in Verkan's establishment process. With this, we take further steps towards a more secure supply and greater sovereign control over critical input materials, contributing to a robust and resilient defence capability for Sweden and Canada," says Hugo Carlsson, CEO of Verkan.

Verkan is a Swedish company founded in 2024 with the aim of strengthening Sweden's defence capability by securing the manufacture of propellants and other central input materials, as a complement to existing industry.
