Hanwha CEO Michael Colter and CSO Alex Wong say the company is investing $5 billion to expand the Philadelphia Shipyard while bringing South Korean shipbuilding technology and workforce training to the US in an effort to rebuild domestic industrial capacity. Speaking to Bloomberg's Tyler Kendall at the Pennsylvania Defense & Innovation Summit, they say that bipartisan support for defense manufacturing, stronger US-South Korea industrial ties and faster Pentagon procurement are underpinning investments in shipbuilding, munitions and artillery production.
