Carat Security Group (CSG) is a large, privately held[citation needed] manufacturer of mobile armor. Based in Lamballe, France, the Group is the result of several mergers, including the purchase of Centigon by industry rival, Carat Duchatelet.[2] One of the world's leading commercial armored vehicle providers,[3] it operates six factories worldwide,[4] employs a labor force of 800, and produces 1,400 armored vehicles annually.[4]
Among its subsidiaries' products are armored limousines for heads of states, armored sedans and SUVs, specialized vehicles for transporting cash, ballistic glass, and a variety of vehicles and equipment for the defense industry.[4]
In addition to offering feature-loaded premium transportation CSG also produces simpler, cheaper, less protected "no frills" vehicles aimed at a growing customer base in Africa and the Middle East.[citation needed] Its Black Scorpion Fast Attack Vehicle developed for this niche market was introduced at the Eurosatory 2010 [1] international exhibition of land security and defense vehicles in Paris.[5] In April 2011, Carat made its first appearance in China, with a trade show in Shanghai; presenting two Carat Duchatelet armored limousines.[6]
