American Rheinmetall ______________________________________________________________________________________
American Rheinmetall’ s impressive manufacturing operations are enhanced by the company’ s approach and investment in new technologies.“ Automation is key to any successful manufacturing operation,” Jason states.“ Automation is a major aspect of the XM30 program and we’ re currently connecting the design side from a digital provisioning perspective. We’ ve integrated digital engineering tools to provide full digital overview of our machining and welding centers, and we can even provide the US Army with direct access into our digital factory, enabling them to check progress in real time.”
With our conversation ending, Matthew and Jason turn their attention to what’ s next for American Rheinmetall.“ The acquisition is still relatively new, so 2025 will see us focus on integration while maintaining service continuity for our existing customers,” Jason shares.“ The alignment of cultures has come naturally to both businesses, as we understand one another’ s products and we’ re both laser-focused on delivering highquality products. While we’ ve already made
tremendous progress, as we move through the year, we’ ll turn our attention to expanding our collective capabilities and advancing our investment plan across all three areas of the business. We have strong growth ambitions, part of which is moving up the value stream associated with our products, especially on the commercial side.”
Matthew concludes:“ We’ re planning to invest around $ 50 million in capital equipment to expand capabilities and support our growth moving forward. We’ re integrating six additional high-precision, five-axis machining centers to support longrange weapon systems, for instance, as well as investing heavily in systems to enhance our productivity and throughput. We’ re excited to move into production with some of our prime work and continue to diversify the business across our core segments and ever-growing customer base. Paired with Rheinmetall’ s global position, our products are well positioned in the market and will surely continue to thrive.” ■
