Rheinmetall AG and Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S), the UK's defence procurement organisation, have agreed to extend their successful cooperation in the field of ammunition, which began in 2005, for another five years, with an option for a further two years. The partnering agreement represents a new order volume worth minimum €150 millión for the period through to 2015. The parties now signed a contract to this effect at Rheinmetall Defence's régiónál office in Bristol.

Rheinmetall Defence thus remains the sole non-UK company with which DE&S has concluded a partnership agreement for the supply of generál munitions. Over the pást five years, cooperation has extended to new munitions product areas due to the evolving requirements of the British military as well as RheinmetaH's proven track record for quality and reliability.
Over the last five years Rheinmetall Defence nearly doubled the volume of generál munitions supplied to the troops of Her Majesty's armed forces.
