All of the defense programs have been kept intact in terms of government budgets for all of our customers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pommellet\u2019s comments fall in line with a trend throughout Europe of governments trying to preserve, if not boost, their defense budgets in the midst of an economic crisis whose contours are still taking shape amid drastic new measures aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">France and Germany announced new lockdown measures this week, with offers by the governments to ease the blow to companies. In France \u2014 which represents 70 percent of Naval Group\u2019s business, according to Pommellet \u2014 officials consider defense spending a national stimulus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, the situation remains fluid, as the company has worked to adapt its operations to keep the workforce healthy. \u201cWhen I look at the overall situation for now, I would say: \u2018No impact,\u2019 \u201d Pommellet said. \u201cThe question will be tomorrow, of course. And here, I\u2019m unable to look into the crystal ball.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The uncertainty has driven the company to keep its head down and plug away on the work at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a moment where we must stick to our projects and stay in touch with our customers,\u201d Pommellet said. \u201cDelivering and serving our customers at absolutely perfect performance in this period sends a key message. Because tomorrow, they will remember that we were there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also may not be the time for bold moves when it comes to pursuing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2020\/03\/16\/you-need-two-to-tango-naval-group-ceo-herve-guillou-on-business-in-europe-and-down-under\/\" target=_blank>further consolidation<\/a> in Europe\u2019s naval shipbuilding sector in the face of competition from China and Russia. The perennial vision of consolidation has yet to gain traction across the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, Pommellet said, he wants to ensure cooperation with Italy\u2019s Fincantieri, under the banner of the Naviris joint venture, can bear fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLet\u2019s stick to what we do. Let\u2019s deliver, let\u2019s satisfy our customer, let\u2019s demonstrate that what we\u2019re doing is good and see tomorrow where the wind is blowing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The economic turmoil of the global coronavirus crisis so far has left the shipbuilder unscathed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":26049,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":112,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[160,46,11,12,36,112,30],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3425],"class_list":["post-14175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-europe","category-global","category-industry","category-newsletters","category-euronaval-smr","category-smr"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"VCGLVMWOBZHBPOJQQSUOOYMZTQ","arc_canonical_url":"\/smr\/euronaval\/2020\/10\/29\/naval-group-keeps-its-head-down-during-the-pandemic\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
