Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 10, 2026) - Juno Industries Ltd. (TSXV: JUNO) (FSE: Z0Z0) ("Juno Industries" or the "Company"), a Canadian defence technology company building advanced military and dual-use technology, today announced a strategic expansion of its market focus, shifting from a primarily domestic approach to a broader international growth strategy.
In line with the Government of Canada's export goals and new strategic agreements, the Company is committed to pursuing partnerships and contracting opportunities that strengthen operational readiness within the changing security environment.
"As a Pacific nation, the wider Indo-Pacific region has become a strategic focus for us at Juno Industries," said Harjit Sajjan, Executive Chairman of Juno Industries. "The majority of the world's population lives within this region and there is a need for modernization, across each sub-region, and universally across the entire territory."
"We recognize that Canada's prosperity is deeply tied to the security of the broader region," continued Sajjan.
Juno Industries Executive Chairman Meets with Vietnamese Delegation
In late September, Juno Industries' Executive Chairman and Canada's Former Minister of National Defence, Harjit Sajjan, was invited to meet with Vietnam's General Secretary and President Tô Lâm and Minister of National Defence General Phan Van Giang, in Ottawa.
Their visit marked the first official visit to Canada by a General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam since the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1973, and resulted in a newly announced Strategic Partnership between Canada and Vietnam(1).

Bilateral Dialogue between Juno Industries and Indo-Pacific Partners
Members of the Juno Industries leadership and technology teams were recently invited to the Philippines, one of Canada's fastest growing and most important partners in the Indo-Pacific region, to meet with key stakeholders aligned with the Company's dual-use technologies.
Domestic Support for International Expansion
Canada's Defence Industrial Strategy actively promotes global competitiveness. Under its Defence Industrial Strategy, the Government of Canada has outlined its commitment to increasing Canadian defence exports by up to 50 per cent2, encouraging Canadian defence companies to seek international opportunities. Global market involvement supports economic prosperity, revenue growth, and a strengthened and renewed defence sector.
"Juno Industries aims to deliver the necessary tools to the Canadian Armed Forces and international partners to ensure prosperity, endurance and perseverance through potential future conflict," said Hunter Scharfe, CEO of Juno Industries. "While contributing to building Canada's domestic industrial capacity remains a priority, it is a strategic necessity for us to become part of the broader defence and security network."
