Elbit Systems announced that it was awarded a $135 million contract to establish an artillery ammunition factory, which is to be delivered to an international customer. 

The contract will be performed over a period of two years.

This contract, according to the Israeli company, will leverage the significant technical and operational knowledge that Elbit Systems has accumulated as well as decades of ammunition production experience. 

Elbit Systems builds and operates ammunition factories and production lines on multiple sites. The company’s experience covers the entire product cycle, from design to production as well as maintenance and after-sales support.

Yehuda Vered, General Manager of Elbit Systems Land, said that there is growing demand from governments around the world who are interested in enhancing their ammunition production capabilities.
