Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. (CSE: CTTT) has completed due diligence for the 100% acquisition of a Western Australian precision manufacturing company, positioning the autonomous communications developer to strengthen sovereign manufacturing capabilities in Australia. The acquisition provides immediate access to AUD $7.4 million in revenue and AUD $1.9 million in EBITDA while establishing vertically integrated production capacity for defence and communications technologies.
The AUD $7.7 million acquisition adds state-of-the-art fabrication facilities featuring laser cutting systems, CNC folding and bending machines, robotic welding technology, and advanced CAD/CAM integration. This manufacturing capability is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 standards, enabling production of defence-grade components with precision and efficiency. The integration of modern equipment with a skilled workforce allows for faster prototyping, improved cost control, and scalable manufacturing.
A critical benefit of the acquisition is the target company's DISP accreditation through the Australian Department of Defence, which enables CiTech to participate in classified defence programs immediately. This accreditation meets rigorous security, governance, and information protection standards required for defence supply chain participation. The timing aligns strategically with AUKUS opportunities, as Australia strengthens defence partnerships with the United Kingdom and United States.
The acquisition reinforces CiTech's commitment to building sovereign Australian manufacturing capacity for rapid-deployment systems in defence, emergency response, and secure communications. It complements the company's growing international partnerships, including collaborations with Babcock International and Terma, while expanding reach across NATO's Eastern Flank through its EU presence in Latvia. Financial projections indicate revenue and EBITDA are expected to double over the next three years, supporting accelerated growth in sovereign defence manufacturing.
Financing discussions are underway with Moneta Securities, a specialist capital markets advisory firm, as the company moves toward finalizing the Share Sale Agreement within five days. The acquisition remains subject to standard closing conditions and securing required funding.

This strategic move positions CiTech to scale production of its Nexus 20 and future autonomous communication systems while strengthening supply chain control. The vertically integrated manufacturing approach improves speed, cost efficiency, and scalability for defence and industrial applications. As sovereign manufacturing becomes increasingly important for national security, this acquisition provides CiTech with both immediate financial contributions and long-term strategic positioning in defence markets.
