Rheinmetall Ukrainian Defense Industry LLC
About us
Rheinmetall Ukrainian Defense Industry LLC was established as a joint venture company by Ukraine’s state-owned Ukrainian Defense Industry JSC (UDI, the former Ukroboronprom) and Rheinmetall in Kyiv, and has been operating since 18 October 2023. The company is jointly owned by Rheinmetall Landsysteme GmbH, with a 51% stake, and UDI, which holds the remaining 49%.
First announced in May 2023, cooperation between Rheinmetall and the Ukrainian defence sector is intended to strengthen Ukraine’s domestic defence industry and, ultimately, its national security. The plan calls for creating joint defence industry capabilities in Ukraine.
Since June 2024, combat vehicles have been repaired and maintained in western Ukraine under the umbrella of the joint venture. In addition to its operational activities, Rheinmetall is also continuing to expand its institutional presence in the country.
Products & services
Service and maintenance of military vehicles supplied to Ukraine either directly or via the German government’s "Ringtausch" multilateral equipment exchange projects form the first step in cooperation between Rheinmetall and UDI. The cooperation will also extend to the joint production in Ukraine of selected Rheinmetall products.
