Curtis Watson is on site in Denmark this week at Battlefield’s customer Orbex. Orbex designs and produces space ships. Curtis is working directly with key engineering team members of Orbex on a project which includes critical cryogenics couplings designed by Curtis, Lawrence Togeretz, and Jacob MaDonald.

1. You can expect our pricing to remain steady with no planned increases due to tariffs, and with an additional effort on our part to remain as competitive as always. 2. The increase in our capacity has been our focus for the past three years, and we are presently just about ready to open our two new facilities. Critical delivery requirements should be easier to meet than ever before. 3. The tariffs set to begin early March 2025 on Canadian-produced steel (25%) and the same towards Canadian sourced aluminum shipped to the USA will not affect us in any way, nor should they affect our USA defense customers. This is because our product, purchased by you for your vehicles and aircraft, includes multiple materials that are heavily machined and formed, and includes seals, gripping balls, springs, and is shipped as a final assembly after testing. Regardless of whether we end up using US, Canadian, or any other DFAR’s compatible country aluminum or steel as a small part of the recipe of our final product, no tariffs should be triggered by your government or by ours now. 4. We made a commitment to “Never Obsolete Any Product Used in a Military Application.” I don’t break promises lightly. So even if things get right ugly between our two countries, if Trump reaches the part of his plan for Canada to induce “economic failure” on us so it can be absorbed or annexed into the USA, we will still move heaven and earth to meet your needs. 5. We are considered one of the most responsive suppliers to our customers around the globe. There are many reasons we are the preferred choice populating all the latest and most advanced UAV and Land Systems products. But I am asking our team here to be even more responsive than ever in looking after each of our US customer needs. Whether we get frustrated with trade changes by your government administration, or by any unforeseen new developments against Canada by the USA, we are setting that aside and will never forget YOU ARE THE CUSTOMER! 6. If the USA wins against Canada in the next hockey game this Thursday at 8:00 pm, please let me grieve for at least 24 hours before hopefully reaching out with sympathy in your tone, and I will try my best to congratulate you. ($%#&!) eh! Steve Fenton, Caretaker, Battlefield International Inc. Cayuga, Canada, God bless the USA

Should the USA pay Canada? Should our Tariff have been the same as Mexico? I challenge every Canadian and American to post these numbers on their feeds. They speak for themselves. Migrants irregular entry in 2024): From Canada to the U.S.: 18,644 From Mexico to the U.S.: 2 million From U.S. to Canada: 28,000 Fentanyl (seized in 2024): From Canada to the U.S.: 43 pounds From Mexico to the U.S.: 21,148 pounds From U.S. to Canada: 882 pounds Illegal Guns (2024): From Canada to the U.S.: 3,000 From Mexico to the U.S.: 16,000 From U.S. to Canada: 30,000 (Figures on migrant entries and fentanyl seizures supplied by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Battlefield International Inc. is pleased to be making progress steadily preparing our extra plant (20,000 sq ft) and refreshed additional office complex with Engineering R & D (9,000 sq ft) on Talbot Street in Cayuga. Here in the pic is one of our “not so secret” advantages. The machine and pallet system here is one of the most capable “lights out” milling centers on earth. But the true advantage is in the person (Cam Brouwer) who is advising the machine what to produce, and getting it to produce the parts very quickly while he goes home to sleep. This 5 axis mill is pictured running three different parts on its own without requiring any staff to tend it, while taking measurements, maintaining the proper temperature, changing tools as they wear, and switching to run the exact quantity of various parts required for each of the three unique parts all without human intervention. If President Trump puts his tariff of 25% onto Canadian produced products, we expect to see an increase in business from the USA due to the shocking baked in value of Battlefield International Canadian products when comparing to the Aerospace grade competition of ours south of the border. The largest competitor of ours, claiming they are “American”, have hundreds of plants in China producing for them. We at Battlefield Cayuga, are only located in America (Canada is in America too. It’s just North America and above our good friends and great customers in the USA!) Our product, used in the Defense sector, after adding in a 25% tariff will sell for between 25 to 75% less than our US competitor who is having the lion’s share of what makes up their product, produced in China. They had a plant in Russia too, but had to abandon it. We don’t have any corporate jets, or helicopters, we are lean and efficient, and we are winning the defense UAV and Land Systems trust, and securing the orders from the USA based defense giants. We don’t dabble in countries like China, Russia, Iran etc. Partly we are winning because of our pricing, but mainly, we are becoming the fluid coupler of choice through the USA defense market and the globe, due to our advanced and provable technical advantages. The 25% tariff will cause US Defense Customers to seek and review all pricing and technical advantages of the available actual product itself in the USA and from other countries. But, if the defense industry also wants to be careful with their spending, if they care about what they get for their dollar, they will land with our product. I would expect President Trump to reach a new level of frustration when realizing the advantages in choosing Canada for their critically important Fluid Connectors offering a massive price advantage even after a 25% tariff is implemented. I do respect what Donald Trump is trying to do in making sure the US economy is his top priority. He has backed that up with dramatic change at a mind numbing speed. With the funds that can be saved in purchasing the best technical solution with the best price by a huge percentage, I think Mr Trump would suggest our Canadian designed and produced fluid coupler was chosen. And the savings in choosing our Canadian Battlefield brand even after the 25% tariff towards our products hit the US Customer, will be able to be passed on to the US Taxpayer. If President Trump wants taxes to be reduced, then he will want the defense industry purchasing Battlefield International Inc. fluid couplers from Cayuga, Ontario, Canada. One more interesting point is we are selling to more and more countries around the globe and expect that to become equally important to our USA defense sales over the next two or three years.
