As Europe's leading supplier of weapons and ammunition, passive protection systems, and propellants, Rheinmetall Defence embodies unsurpassed experience, with an armoury of innovative products made by its weapon and munitions division.
MILITARY AND CIVILIAN PROPELLANTS
Rheinmetall's Nitrochemie Group's core competency is developing and producing propellant charges for military and civilian needs. Apart from artillery and mortar-propelling charge systems and propellant powder for large, medium and small-calibre ammunition, the group produces combustible cast components.
These include the MTLS modular propelling charge system used in the PzH 2000 self-propelled howitzer; temperature-independent propellants for tank rounds; and mortar and medium-calibre ammunition. The Nitrochemie Group also produces and markets nitrocellulose and propellant pastes – important intermediate products in the defence industry.
Nitrochemie's expertise is also found in the automotive and aviation industry as well as in medical and fastener applications. The group supplies components for seatbelt tensioners and airbag ignition systems to well-known automotive-part makers.
Pioneering technologies and well-targeted investments have made Nitrochemie a leader in its field worldwide. Moreover, intensive cooperation with customers and market-oriented research – and closely interlinked sales, development and manufacturing structures – have turned the company into a highly competent partner for national and international development projects.
