Major artillery ammunition order

Rheinmetall has been commissioned by an international customer to supply artillery ammunition. The customer has ordered a low five-figure quantity of 155mm artillery projectiles. The contract value, which was recognised in the third quarter of 2026, is in the low three-digit million-euro range. Production has already begun, and the order is due to be completed in 2027.

The projectiles supplied by Rheinmetall are already in service with various NATO countries. They can be fired from a wide range of 155mm weapon systems and offer a long range and high effectiveness. This contract underscores Rheinmetall’s high level of expertise in the field of artillery systems.

Rheinmetall continues to invest heavily in expanding the capacity of existing facilities and establishing new production sites in order to meet the growing demand for modern 155-mm projectiles and propellant charges. Rheinmetall is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of large-calibre ammunition. The Düsseldorf-based technology group has been expanding its production capacity since 2022 and aims to produce around 1.5 million 155 mm artillery shells per year by 2030.
