London (AFP) Jan 18, 2008
British defence group BAE Systems said Friday it had agreed to buy Australian defence contractor Tenix for up to 356 million pounds (478 million euros, 698 million US dollars).

The deal, worth 775 million Australian dollars, will make BAE the largest supplier in Australia to the Australian Defence Force, the group said in a statement.

"This transaction significantly enhances the depth and breadth of our capabilities in Australia and adds a major naval business to our portfolio and significantly increases our land capability," chief executive of BAE Systems Australia, Jim McDowell, said in the statement.

"The combination of the two companies will enable us better to equip and support the Australian Defence Force for many years to come."
