While Germany\u2019s traditional industrial sectors face a major crisis, German capital is focusing intently on large, anticipated orders from the German Armed Forces.<\/p>\n<p>This trend is evident in the German Security and Defense Industry Federation (BDSV). According to the federation\u2019s own data, its membership has nearly doubled from 243 to 440 since November 2024, with two-thirds of its members coming from the &#8220;Mittelstand&#8221;\u2014historic, family-owned companies that are generally broader than typical SMEs.<\/p>\n<p>Cathrin Wilhelm, who is responsible for the Mittelstand at BDSV, <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.handelsblatt.com\/unternehmen\/industrie\/verteidigungsindustrie-drei-beispiele-so-draengt-der-mittelstand-in-die-ruestung\/100173177.html\">told<\/a><\/span> the <em>Handelsblatt<\/em> daily, &#8220;We are virtually being inundated with interested parties. Many companies are suppliers to the automotive and machinery industries and are struggling with capacity utilization. They now see an opportunity for growth in the defense sector.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fabian Kienbaum, who provides personnel consulting services to family businesses, also believes such an opportunity exists. &#8220;Those with the technology, production competence, and quality standards are looking more closely at whether they can position themselves as suppliers for the defense industry or for defense orders,&#8221; he states.<\/p>\n<p>This particularly concerns mechanical components, assembly, or coatings. &#8220;The need for qualified personnel to carry out these transformations is immense,&#8221; says Kienbaum.<\/p>\n<p><em>Handelsblatt<\/em> examines how highly experts rate this potential by focusing on three Mittelstand companies.<\/p>\n<p>Germany\u2019s defense budget alone is set to increase from its current \u20ac80 billion to \u20ac170 billion. The consulting agency McKinsey also estimates that by then, the annual volume of the European defense industry market will rise to \u20ac335 billion, which is almost three times its current size.<\/p>\n<p>A large portion of this belongs to major corporations like the Dax group Rheinmetall, tank manufacturer KNDS, or the military division of Airbus. These companies, in turn, subcontract 80% of their orders.<\/p>\n<p>According to its own data, industry leader Rheinmetall has approximately 23,000 suppliers, most of which are medium-sized enterprises. Meanwhile, many automotive suppliers are in desperate need of orders.<\/p>\n<p>However, the issue is not just about better utilization of production capacities. The war in Ukraine has led to a change in thinking within many family businesses. Furthermore, the prospect of Donald Trump taking office and the promise of limited US aid are pushing many Mittelstand companies to actively enter this sector.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Deciding to work for defense industry companies is one thing, but deciding to have weapons produced with your own technology is another,&#8221; says a managing partner of a machine manufacturer from Sauerland who wished to remain anonymous.<\/p>\n<p>In February, another machine manufacturer asked if they wanted to participate jointly in a tender for a defense project. The tender was seeking machines for the production of artillery shells.<\/p>\n<p>However, the family company in question had decided from its founding day not to produce for the defense industry. Was this decision still valid in 2025?<\/p>\n<p>The entrepreneur spoke with his partners. The moment Trump questioned the NATO alliance at the beginning of the year was decisive: &#8220;We understood that our values of peace and freedom were never questioned, but today, different decisions must be made than in the past.&#8221; This &#8220;realization,&#8221; according to <em>Handelsblatt<\/em>, united the family.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Many families are divided over whether to set aside their statutes and beliefs that emerged during the Cold War,&#8221; says Tom R\u00fcsen, general manager of the Witten Institute for Family Business Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, &#8220;Generation Z&#8221; does not see a problem with armaments, but the post-World War II &#8220;baby boomer&#8221; generation and Generation X see more issues.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, the family decided to involve the employees in the process. &#8220;We wanted to give everyone an opportunity to understand our decision-making process and our struggle,&#8221; says the entrepreneur.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the conclusion was reached that &#8220;sustainability is not possible without democracy and freedom,&#8221; and &#8220;the employees understood this as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not everyone would have made the same decision,&#8221; says the entrepreneur, &#8220;but they understand that we have taken a sincere stance and did not just accept this job because the opportunity was right. That was important to us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the partners determined that this decision should be reviewed every year and limited the maximum annual order volume from the defense industry: &#8220;Those who can decide anew annually are those who do not become dependent.&#8221; Meanwhile, the company received the order, and there are other requests.<\/p>\n<p>Another newcomer to the sector is Gr\u00fcninger Electronics, located in Weinstadt near Stuttgart. Managing partner Thomas Hagen openly admits that he knew very little about the defense and security industry until now, which is why he joined the BDSV.<\/p>\n<p>Gr\u00fcninger specializes in 3D-printed circuit boards. The company manufactures circuit boards and, through &#8220;reverse engineering,&#8221; reprints, repairs, and re-equips them.<\/p>\n<p>Circuit boards are found in every modern car and are now also used in the defense industry.<\/p>\n<p>However, a large portion of circuit boards are manufactured in Taiwan and China, with Europe holding only 2% of the world market.<\/p>\n<p>W\u00fcrth recently ceased its circuit board production. &#8220;Those who value data sovereignty and resilience should keep the knowledge in the country,&#8221; says Hagen. 3D-printed circuit boards are independent of supply chains, and the data remains in-house.<\/p>\n<p>Hagen is continuing his discussions with potential customers during the development phase. Just obtaining the necessary permits for this took nine weeks.<\/p>\n<p>But if Gr\u00fcninger wants to apply as a supplier, the certification process will be much more complex and lengthy. Hagen, however, sees great potential. Even &#8220;old circuit boards&#8221; can be reprinted, equipped, and tested, thereby producing spare parts for existing boards. This could significantly increase the operational availability of submarines or tanks, for example.<\/p>\n<p>Many are only now realizing the high demands placed on the sector. The German Armed Forces&#8217; Military Security Service (MAD) vets everyone who works directly with the army. Such a security check currently takes 18 months.<\/p>\n<p>Until now, Gr\u00fcninger supplied companies in Germany active in mechanical and plant engineering, aerospace technology, and electrical engineering. As a supplier to the defense industry, Hagen plans to significantly grow his company.<\/p>\n<p>The third example company is Armoured Car Systems (ACS), part of the Gruma Group in Friedberg near Augsburg, which produces small series of armored off-road vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>ACS specializes in armoring off-road vehicles like the Mercedes G-Class with its own superstructures. Until now, ACS was a smaller part of the family business; five years ago, it had only 35 employees, whereas today it has 135. This German Mittelstand company knows the peculiarities of the defense industry well.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, its insurance company announced it would terminate the contract due to the business&#8217;s incompatibility with the taxonomy rules at the time. The termination of insurance coverage would have affected the entire corporate group, which has 1,400 employees.<\/p>\n<p>General manager Sebastian Schaubeck explained that the reason was the ACS subsidiary, which operates in the security and defense technology field.<\/p>\n<p>At that time, the EU considered the financing of defense industry companies to be incompatible with the Union&#8217;s sustainability goals. &#8220;This sector was not valued; on the contrary, no one saw its benefits,&#8221; Schaubeck complains.<\/p>\n<p>The war in Ukraine also marked a turning point for ACS. At the end of 2022, the insurance company gave the entire group the green light but did not want to make a public statement.<\/p>\n<p>Looking back, Schaubeck assesses the shock of the Ukraine war: &#8220;The reputation [in the sector] has completely changed.&#8221; This also applies to political support. For example, SPD&#8217;s German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius became the first defense minister in a long time to join the BDSV.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that ACS is already benefiting from a boom is largely related to the company&#8217;s decision to start investing in its own vehicle class in 2019, a period when the company was making a loss.<\/p>\n<p>ACS developed and patented a modular vehicle based on the Mercedes G-Class. &#8220;This was something the entrepreneurial family achieved entirely with its own resources,&#8221; says the ACS general manager. It is also noted that the shareholders were convinced to invest in security for the long term.<\/p>\n<p>According to Wilhelm from the BDSV, securing capital remains a major obstacle for many Mittelstand companies in the defense sector.<\/p>\n<p>Although many banks and funds have changed their statutes that previously rejected armaments as an unethical investment, financing remains a weak point.<\/p>\n<p><!-- notionvc: 5a554a43-74a0-47c5-88fb-0dc0564d6c02 --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>German capital is pouring into the defense industry from all sectors.
