Rheinmetall, Dutch Army conclude framework ammunition supply agreement
The Rheinmetall Group of Düsseldorf, Germany, has concluded a framework agreement with the Royal Dutch Armed Forces to supply the Netherlands with a wide array of different ammunition types. The anticipated order volume over a 10-year period is €200 million.
Under the agreement, the Royal Dutch Armed Forces have already placed an initial order in 2010 for modular propelling charges for the PzH 2000 self-propelled howitzer.
This far-reaching agreement reinforces Rheinmetall’s position as a leading supplier of large- and medium-calibre weapons and ammunition for NATO member countries and other friendly nations.
The Dutch Army already relies on Rheinmetall for nearly all its ammunition needs, including practice and service ammunition in multiple calibres. This long-term framework agreement provides the Dutch military with assured access at short notice to a comprehensive range of top quality ammunition, while simultaneously contributing to simplified procurement flows.
Built on mutual trust, the new framework contract symbolizes the longstanding relationship between Rheinmetall and the Royal Dutch Armed Forces, and lays the groundwork for an enduring intensification of cooperation that benefits both parties.
