The new network integrates Rheinmetall's existing operations, including Rheinmetall Automecanica, with new partnerships forged with key Romanian companies such as Uzina Automecanica Moreni, Interactive Software, and MarcTel-SIT.
A cornerstone of this initiative is the local production of the Lynx infantry fighting vehicle at Rheinmetall Automecanica, aiming for a robust supply chain and reduced dependency on external suppliers. Furthermore, Rheinmetall Munitions Romania will undertake the manufacturing of medium-calibre ammunition for infantry fighting vehicles and air defence, while Victoria Explosive Powder Factory will produce propellants.
As part of the investment plan, the company is establishing a centre equipped with cutting-edge simulators and comprehensive training programmes.
Rheinmetall's investment is set to create hundreds of jobs across manufacturing, engineering, and technical services.
