worst impacts of the tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDefinitely, it is related to Trump\u2019s administration and also definitely to potential changes in the way tariffs are working,\u201d he said. \u201cAs of today, we are getting most of our orders from the U.S. government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Shimonov said planning for the facility started two years ago, in part because so many of the company\u2019s clients are U.S.-based government agencies or companies and the company purchases many of the materials it uses in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Roshel produces armoured vehicles, sometimes by upgrading vehicles such as the Ford F-550, to withstand blasts, bullets and other security threats. The company\u2019s U.S.-based clients include the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of State.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2016, Roshel initially derived much of its business by making armoured vehicles for cash-and-transit companies as well as local law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n<p>But Shimonov said that after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Roshel\u2019s business shifted to producing armoured vehicles for military purposes. He said the company has sent more than 1,500 vehicles to Ukraine, but only about 200 or so were donated by the Canadian government.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"ad__section-border article-content__ad-group ad_counter_3\">\n<section aria-describedby=\"advertisment5870478844824475910652176302604288\" class=\"ad\">\n<p>Advertisement 3<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad__container\">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\" id=\"ad__inner-3\">\n<div class=\"ad__inner__container\" data-ad=\"[[7,7],[1200,250],[1200,90],[970,90],[970,250],[728,90],[300,250]]\" data-ad-interscroller=\"7x7\" data-ad-loc=\"3\" data-ad-mobile=\"[[7,7],[300,250],[320,50],[300,50]]\" data-aqa=\"advertisement\" id=\"ad-3\" style=\"--desktopHeight:250px;--mobileHeight:250px\">\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ad__placeholder\">\n<p>This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"article-content__content-group article-content__content-group--story\">\n<p>Article content<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, we don\u2019t get the same level of orders in Canada\u201d as in the U.S., Shimonov said.<\/p>\n<p>Within Canada, the company has more than 400,000 square feet of production space, including a flagship plant in Brampton that it opened in 2023 at a cost of $65 million, he said.<\/p>\n<p data-async=\"\">It is not the only company that is closely watching as Trump prepares to implement 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian products.
