Brighton arms manufacturers EDO MBM, who have been the subject of a four year long direct action campaign, are to be bought by ITT corporation, a company who have sold arms to Hitler, Franco and Pinochet.
Smash EDO have been campaigning since 2004 to close down EDO MBM, who manufacture weapons for the US, UK and Israel.
On December 18th EDO Corp shareholders in the US will vote on whether to approve the sale of the company to ITT Corp. If the vote is successful all of EDO Corp's assets will pass to ITT.
The future of the Brighton factory is uncertain as ITT have not guaranteed that jobs will be safe or that business will continue at all units after the merger.
Chloe Marsh, spokesperson for Smash EDO, said "This could be the end for EDO MBM. However, if business continues we will continue our campaign. ITT are a company who ran weapons factories inside Germany, fuelling the Nazi regime, throughout Hitler's genocides. ITT are no more welcome in Brighton than EDO MBM. Our campaign will continue until the arms factory closes down."
Smash EDO demonstrate at EDO MBM, Home Farm Road, every Wednesday and are planning a march through the centre of Brighton on the 19th January.
