Rheinmetall, Supashock sign export contract

Locally manufactured mobility systems designed for tracked infantry fighting vehicles will be delivered to customers in Europe under a newly signed export deal.

Global defence contractor Rheinmetall and Adelaide-based manufacturer Supashock have announced the signing of a European export contract, expected to support the delivery of locally-produced running gear components and technology into overseas markets.

The components, designed and manufactured by Supashock and its qualified local supply chain, can now be integrated in Rheinmetall-built tracked infantry fighting vehicles developed for customers in Europe.

This is expected to increase Supashock’s export activities from 65 per cent of total sales to 75 per cent over the next four to five years.
