Under this framework agreement Chemring Nobel also signed an initial purchase order valued at €231 million deliveries under this contract will be over a five-year period commencing in late 2026.
In 2023, Diehl Defence and Nammo AS created an industrial working group to supply the German Government with 155mm munitions for the German Armed Forces and their allies and in July 2024 they received their initial delivery order. Under this order, production of 155mm munitions will use Nammo’s munitions technology for which Chemring Nobel is the only qualified supplier of MCX material.
Chemring has also announced that its US subsidiary, Chemring Energetic Devices (CED), has received an order valued at $106 million for the delivery of critical components for use in an undisclosed US missile programme. Deliveries under this contract will be over a five-year period commencing in 2026.
Further to the announcement on 17th October 2024, Group adjusted operating profit for the year ended 31 October 2024 is expected to be in-line with consensus expectations of £70.9 million.
Michael Ord, Chief Executive of Chemring, commented: “These significant contract wins illustrate the deep long-term relationships that we have built with our customers.
"It is further evidence of the sustained and growing demand for our products and supports our investment decisions to increase the capacity of our three energetics businesses, and reinforces Chemring’s position as a key supplier to NATO.”
