American Rheinmetall has been awarded a contract from Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace to produce machined components for the MCT\u201130 medium caliber turret. These components will support the United States Marine Corps\u2019 Amphibious Combat Vehicle infantry fighting vehicle variant, known as the ACV\u201130.<\/p>\n
Under the award, valued at approximately $710,000, American Rheinmetall\u2019s Lapeer and Lansing, Michigan facilities will manufacture machined components for MCT\u201130 turrets, with deliveries scheduled throughout 2026 and 2027. American Rheinmetall will perform the work as a subcontractor to Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace.<\/p>\n
This marks the first contract award from Kongsberg to American Rheinmetall\u2019s Michigan operations and signifies the continued growth and diversification of the company\u2019s U.S. customer base. The award also builds on years of successful collaboration between Kongsberg and American Rheinmetall\u2019s Maine facility in support of the CROWS program.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe opportunity to support Kongsberg on the ACV\u201130 program reflects our expanding partnership and strengthens American Rheinmetall\u2019s role in delivering high\u2011quality components for critical U.S. military platforms,\u201d said Tom McDonnell, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, American Rheinmetall. \u201cWe\u2019re proud that our Michigan facilities will contribute to the Marine Corps\u2019 modernization priorities as it evolves into a more mobile and capable force.\u201d<\/p>\n
By supporting production of the MCT\u201130 turret for the ACV\u201130, this effort contributes directly to the Marine Corps\u2019 operational readiness and mission flexibility. The award also reinforces American Rheinmetall\u2019s growing position within the Tier 1 defense industry landscape as the company continues broadening both capability and customer reach.\u00a0<\/p>\n
