Brilliance without borders

It all started in 1986, when a fearless team took on the challenge of producing a fully-customized defence system for the Canadian Armed Forces. That fateful project marked the inception of Oerlikon Aerospace, now Rheinmetall Canada. Decades later, our team continues to draw upon the knowledge and skills that were honed over the course of this major project, while maintaining a strong desire to surpass ourselves every day. We are proud to create solutions for the global security and defence market that are both highly technologically advanced and fully adapted to each client’s needs.

The complex challenges faced by our customers are a constant motivator to push back our limits to ensure innovation and the success of each mandate. Our commitment to militaries, government officials, and critical infrastructure managers is firm: we aim to provide products and solutions that are as innovative as they are effective achieving the highest security standards.

At the core of each of our solutions, you will find an exclusive software technology that opens the door to a world of possibilities. Developed by our in-house experts, it has been tested in the harshest of conditions, proving its worth time and time again. This technology is the cornerstone of our modular and adaptable solutions, and combined with our team’s savvy, it is a true embodiment of our unique strengths and abilities.

Our exceptional adaptability and vibrant leadership are further proof of Rheinmetall’s distinctive excellence. Our multidisciplinary teams draw upon their expertise in an ongoing effort to protect people and critical infrastructures, regardless of the constraints or the location. We act as true partners before, during, and after we deliver each solution.

Entrusting Rheinmetall Canada means that you can bank on a cutting-edge solution, exceptional efficiency, and a rewarding business relationship. Above all, it means joining forces with a team that is wholly devoted to your success and determined to push their own limits – no matter the circumstances.
