DEFSEC Technologies has appointed George Weber to its board as Vice-Chairman, replacing Paul Fortin, who is retiring after serving since the company went public in 2021. David Luxton is moving from Executive Chairman to Non-Executive Chairman as DEFSEC enters fiscal 2027 on Oct. 1, 2026. Weber previously chaired Calian Group, which has almost CAD $900 million in revenue and a market capitalization approaching CAD $1 billion, and brings more than 30 years of leadership, governance and public-safety experience. DEFSEC said the appointment supports planned expansion into public safety markets. The company is also presenting at the H.C. Wainwright 28th Annual Global Investment Conference in New York from Sept. 14-16. Its product portfolio includes tactical situational-awareness systems, countermeasures, the PARA SHOT less-lethal line, ARWEN ammunition, BLISS and Lightning 2.0 SaaS (software delivered by subscription). The release cautioned that its forward-looking statements are subject to execution, financing, regulatory, commercial and market risks.
