Rheinmetall is a major German defense conglomerate that manufactures ammunition and military equipment. In October 2023, the company signed a deal to establish a joint venture with the Ukrainian defense industry.
In March, Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger announced that the company aims to build at least four plants in Ukraine to produce artillery shells, military equipment, gunpowder, and air defense systems.
