“This contract represents our efforts in strengthening our partnerships with military veterans and small and medium-sized enterprises, in line with national imperatives in South Africa.”

The 50-man kitchen system will be integrated with a fully equipped expandable unit and bladders to manage the potable and waste water.

The mobile containerised systems will also be equipped with grillers, convection ovens and boiling pans that are based on new and advanced diesel-fired technology.

This will help support SANDF in its initiative to reduce liquefied petroleum gas.

The kitchen units will be capable of operating from the available power grid or as a stand-alone system with its own electricity generation solution installed in the kitchen container unit.

The current project will be carried out by Saab in Centurion, South Africa, over a period of approximately two years.

Besides delivering feeding capabilities, the company is also known for supplying field facilities and campsites for armed forces, in addition to completely packaged multi-function field facilities, shelter and portable modules for a broad range of operational applications.
