Rheinmetall has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Czechoslovak Group (CSG) for collaboration in the tactical military vehicles field.
The MoU was signed at the Hradčany Castle in the presence of Czech Republic President Miloš Zeman.
Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger said: “The cooperation with Czechoslovak Group is a key relationship for Rheinmetall.
“This opportunity will allow us to incorporate Czechoslovak Group into our existing global supply chain for our broad spectrum of defence products.”
The companies will work to enable the exchange of defence technology between the two countries, which will allow the implementation of projects in the Visegrad states and other countries.
CSG will partner with Rheinmetall in its projects, along with other defence companies in the Czech Republic in its supply chain.
