This trajectory would place Rheinmetall in the top tier of global defense manufacturers. By comparison, the world\u2019s two largest defense companies, Lockheed Martin and RTX, generated defense revenues of about $61 billion and $41 billion respectively in 2023.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Earlier this month, Papperger declared that \u201cRheinmetall is on its way to becoming a global defense champion.\u201d Under his leadership, the D\u00fcsseldorf-based arms manufacturer has seen a steady increase in order volume, which now stands at a record \u20ac63 billion.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">The company\u2019s civilian business, however, is struggling. Rheinmetall once maintained an automotive supply division to balance fluctuations in its defense operations. Some facilities previously used for civilian purposes have now been converted to military production, while non-military plants unsuitable for arms manufacturing are being considered for sale.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\"><strong>New plant to produce components for Leopard 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">The new facility in Unterl\u00fc\u00df, Lower Saxony, officially opening on August 27, will be Rheinmetall\u2019s largest site, employing around 3,200 people.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">The group currently operates 174 plants in more than 30 countries with about 40,000 employees, a figure expected to rise to roughly 70,000 within the next two to three years.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">At Unterl\u00fc\u00df, Rheinmetall produces a wide range of munitions as well as key components for the Leopard 2 main battle tank, the Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled howitzer, and the Puma infantry fighting vehicle. The site is also involved in developing the new Panther KF51 main battle tank, seen as the potential successor to the Leopard 2.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">By the end of this year, the new factory is expected to produce tens of thousands of NATO-standard 155mm artillery shells. By 2027, annual output will reach about 350,000 shells\u2014five times Rheinmetall\u2019s total production in 2022, which stood at 70,000.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Unterl\u00fc\u00df will be Rheinmetall\u2019s second-largest ammunition plant. The largest, Rheinmetall Expal Munitions in Spain, can produce up to 450,000 shells annually. Supported by additional plants in Italy, South Africa, and the United States, the company aims to manufacture 1.5 million 155mm shells per year by 2027.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\"><strong>Expanding across Europe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">To meet this goal, Rheinmetall is building new factories not only in Germany but also in other European countries.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Facilities in Hungary and Lithuania are scheduled to begin production in 2026. In addition, the company has announced over \u20ac1 billion in investments for new plants in Ukraine and Bulgaria, including Europe\u2019s largest gunpowder factory.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Commenting on the scale of the munitions business, Papperger pointed out that NATO members are required to maintain a 30-day wartime ammunition reserve: \u201cFor just 30 days, we need about 300 rounds per weapon per day. With 5,000 weapons, that amounts to 45 million artillery shells.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Beyond ammunition, Rheinmetall and the entire defense sector expect a significant rise in demand across European NATO countries following the alliance\u2019s decision to dedicate 5% of output to defense. The steepest increase is anticipated in Germany, where large-scale rearmament is being financed by new debt. Papperger foresees an order potential of up to \u20ac300 billion by 2030.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\"><strong>Massive Bundeswehr budget whets industry appetite<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">The German government\u2019s plans to substantially increase the military budget are already well known.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">The Bundeswehr\u2019s budget for this year has risen by about 20% to \u20ac62.4 billion, with an additional \u20ac24 billion from a special investment fund.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Plans for 2026 envisage \u20ac82.7 billion in spending, plus \u20ac25.5 billion from the \u201cspecial fund.\u201d In 2027, the last year in which the fund can be used, the budget is projected at \u20ac93.4 billion, rising to about \u20ac136.5 billion in 2028 and \u20ac152.8 billion in 2029. These figures exclude military infrastructure expenditures, expected to reach around \u20ac70 billion by 2029.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">According to the current federal financial plan, total government spending will exceed \u20ac572 billion by 2029, with defense accounting for 26.7%. To finance this, net borrowing is expected to climb to \u20ac126.9 billion in 2029\u2014more than 50% higher than in 2025.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Nevertheless, Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil has acknowledged major funding gaps: \u20ac34 billion in 2027, \u20ac64 billion in 2028, and \u20ac74 billion in 2029.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\"><strong>CDU-SPD push welfare cuts to fund militarization<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">In Berlin, debates are intensifying over dramatic social spending cuts needed to fund unprecedented rearmament.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Last weekend, Chancellor Friedrich Merz argued that \u201cthe welfare state as we know it today is no longer financially sustainable\u201d and that sharp cuts\u2014framed as \u201creforms\u201d\u2014are unavoidable. He added: \u201cTalk of social cuts and sharp reductions does not bother me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">CDU General Secretary Carsten Linnemann also called for a \u201cparadigm shift,\u201d claiming the welfare state had become unaffordable.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Within the governing coalition, there is widespread discussion of a coming \u201creform autumn.\u201d SPD federal chairman and Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil has not fundamentally challenged the premise, insisting instead that the government must \u201caddress social security systems.\u201d He stressed, however, that savings should not come only from welfare spending, calling for higher contributions from the wealthiest individuals.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\"><strong>State pressure grows against anti-war movements<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">While preparing \u201csocial cuts,\u201d the federal government is also tightening pressure on those opposing billions in rearmament.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">In Cologne, activists running an anti-war campaign under the slogan \u201cDisarm Rheinmetall; against arms exports, militarization, and war\u201d were forced to defend their right to assembly and protest after authorities sought to ban their camp.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Officials argued that the activists\u2019 slogan \u201cWar against war\u201d implied \u201ccombating militarization with militant methods.\u201d The ban was eventually overturned by the Higher Administrative Court of North Rhine-Westphalia in M\u00fcnster.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">\u201cWar against War\u201d is the title of a 1919 poem by writer and anti-war activist Kurt Tucholsky, who described the horrors of trench warfare (\u201cblood, crushed bones, and filth\u201d) and lamented the absence of resistance (\u201cno one dares to rebel\u201d). He concluded with a warning: \u201cThis cannot go on, and it must not go on.
