Rheinmetall has received further major orders for the supply of 155mm artillery ammunition. An international customer has placed two orders with subsidiary Rheinmetall Denel Munition for the supply of 155mm extended range, full bore (ERFB) artillery ammunition with a total value in the high double-digit million euro range. The order includes projectiles, propelling charges and fuses.

"We are very grateful for the trust of our business partners and customers in our globally proven extended range ammunition and our long range technology," said Dr. Frank Dirksen, Managing Director of Rheinmetall Denel Munition. "As a system provider, we are constantly working to improve our cutting-edge technologies in order to offer modern armed forces the best possible solutions."

The latest orders are the result of a rapid increase in international demand triggered by the tense global security situation. Rheinmetall is one of the world's leading manufacturers of large-caliber ammunition. The Düsseldorf-based technology group has been increasing its production capacities since 2022 and aims to be able to produce at least 1.1 million 155mm artillery shells per year by 2027.

Like the entire Rheinmetall Group, Rheinmetall Denel Munition is constantly expanding its production capacities, as international supply capacities cannot keep pace with demand.

Rheinmetall Denel Munition is also making progress in integrating significant technological innovations into production. This also results in higher performance and outstanding field usability for users. Rheinmetall Denel Munition is currently validating the firing of precision projectiles at 73 km range from howitzers compatible with NATO's Joint Ballistics Memorandum of Understanding (JBMOU). These ranges enable significant survivability and offensive effect on the battlefield.

Rheinmetall Denel Munition is committed to long-standing business partners and end customers who value Rheinmetall Denel Munition's delivery reliability and high level of technical support. With its production capabilities and technical know-how, Rheinmetall Denel Munition enables maximum and safe performance of 155mm howitzers. This knowledge extends the service life and value of the howitzers. Rheinmetall Denel Munition has an in-house manufacturing structure that includes all energetic and mechanical parts for the production of 155mm ammunition - whether rocket propelled, increased effect or even spread.
