The new vehicles have been designed to address the diverse needs of clients across regions. Shimonov emphasized Roshel’s dedication to providing scalable, tailored solutions, reflecting the company’s evolving role in supporting security needs across different sectors.

Canadian-based Roshel, which began operations in 2016 under Shimonov’s leadership, was founded with the ambition to create a meaningful product that could make a positive impact. Since its inception, the company has grown to become one of North America’s leading manufacturers of armored vehicles for both commercial and government use. The company currently employs 500 people and operates out of a facility exceeding 400,000 square feet, with production running around the clock on three shifts.

Roshel’s expansion into new vehicle models aligns with a broader trend of increased demand for reliable and flexible armored solutions, particularly in a climate where defense and security concerns are more pressing than ever. The Senator Medical Evacuation, designed for critical medical missions, and the Captain, a versatile multi-purpose vehicle, are set to meet growing customer needs in both the public and private sectors.

By keeping production up 24/7, Roshel aims to fulfill ongoing contracts while also ensuring they can respond quickly to emerging needs from clients in North America and beyond.
