Rheinmetall Denel Munition

Rheinmetall Denel Munition is jointly owned by Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GmbH of Germany, which holds 51 percent, and Denel of South Africa, with its South African head office in Somerset West, near Firgrove, Cape Town. The company specialises in the development, design and manufacture of large- and medium-calibre ammunition families.

It is a world leader in artillery, mortar and infantry systems as well as plant engineering. While Rheinmetall's wider business is mainly focused on NATO countries, Rheinmetall Denel Munition's own focus is on Asia, the Middle East, South America, South Africa and other African countries. It suits readers wanting background on the ownership and specialisation of this defence manufacturing joint venture.
