Defence Minister’s meeting with representatives of the German Company Rheinmetall AG

Minister of National Defence, Angel Tîlvăr, had a meeting with Armin Papperger, the CEO of the German Company Rheinmetall AG, on February 15th, as part of the Munich Security Conference.

An important topic of discussions was the building of a powder factory in Romania, through a partnership between Romarm and Rheinmetall. This project benefits from a 47 million Euro funding granted by the European Commission, through the ASAP program. The investment will increase ammunition production capacity, supporting both national security and, at the same time, strengthening the European defence industry.
