Rheinmetall receives major orders for 155 mm ammunition from an international customer– order value in the higher double-digit million Euro range
(PresseBox) - Rheinmetall has received additional major orders for the delivery of 155 mm artillery ammunition. An international customer has placed two orders at the subsidiary Rheinmetall Denel Munition to supply extended range, full bore (ERFB) 155 mm artillery ammunition worth a total of a high double-digit million amount. The order includes projectiles, propellants and fuses.
“We are very grateful for the trust that our business partners and customers place in our globally proven extended-range ammunition and our technology for long ranges”, says Dr Frank Dirksen, CEO of Rheinmetall Denel Munition. “As a system supplier, we are constantly working to improve our cutting-edge technologies to offer the best possible solutions to modern armed forces”.
The latest orders are the result of rapidly rising international demand, triggered by the tense global security situation. Rheinmetall is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of large-calibre ammunition. The Düsseldorf-based Technology Corporation Rheinmetall has been increasing its production capacity since 2022, and aims at producing at least 1.1 million 155 mm artillery shells per year by 2027.
Like the entire Rheinmetall Corporation, Rheinmetall Denel Munition is constantly expanding its production capacities, as international supply capacities are unable to keep up with demand.
Rheinmetall Denel Munition is also making progress in integrating significant technological innovations into its production. This also results in higher performance and outstanding field usability for users. Rheinmetall Denel Munition is currently validating the firing of precision projectiles with a range of 73 km from howitzers which are compatible with NATO’s Joint Ballistics Memorandum of Understanding (JBMOU). These ranges enable significant survivability and offensive effectiveness on the battlefield.
