ARTEC is a joint venture (JV) between Krauss-Maffei Wegmann, Rheinmetall Landsysteme, and Rheinmetall Defence Nederland. The JV maintains series production and manages all export issues relating to the Boxer vehicles.

Rheinmetall, 4iG, and the HM Electronics, Logistics, and Property Management PCLS (HM EI) recently signed a preliminary agreement to establish a JV in Hungary.

The JV will operate as a joint defence industrial company, and will focus on delivering digital equipment for Hungary and other Nato member states in Central and Eastern Europe.

Rheinmetall holds a 51% stake in the JV while 4iG and HM EI will own 39% and 10%, respectively.

The JV is scheduled to start operations in the second half of this year.

Earlier this month, Rheinmetall reported its earnings for the first quarter of 2022. Consolidated sales remained flat at €1.266bn in the quarter.
