What Is Rheinmetall? Inside Germany’s 135-Year-Old Armour and Ammunition Giant
Summary Not Found.
Rheinmetall AG began as a small metalworking workshop in Düsseldorf in 1889. Across 135 years, two world wars, the Cold War and NATO’s largest rearmament cycle in decades, it has become Europe’s leading land-systems and ammunition group. Today, with annual revenues approaching €10 billion, Rheinmetall is the backbone of Western armoured vehicle and artillery ammunition supply — and the company most directly positioned to benefit from the sustained NATO rearmament drive triggered by Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
