Green light to joint venture between Rheinmetall and UkrOboronProm

German Federal Cartel Office gives go-ahead to joint venture between Rheinmetall and Ukrainian Defence Industry represented by UkrOboronProm.

28th September 2023. Launched in May 2023, strategic cooperation between Rheinmetall and Ukraine’s state-owned Ukrainian Defence Industry group (UDI), the former Ukroboronprom, has taken another step forward. On 28 September Germany’s Federal Cartel Office, Bundeskartellamt, cleared the way for establishing a joint venture between Rheinmetall Landsysteme GmbH and UDI in Kyiv. Authorization from other relevant agencies has already been applied for and is expected to come shortly.

The joint venture is to be based in Kyiv and engage in service and maintenance as well as the assembly, production and development of military vehicles, the German Federal Cartel Office said in its press release of 28 September 2023. It will initially operate exclusively in Ukraine. There will be no competitive overlaps in Germany, nor are there any indications of competition concerns. The Bundeskartellamt cleared the transaction within one month.

Cooperation between Rheinmetall and the Ukrainian defence industry is designed to strengthen Ukraine’s defence sector and ultimately the country’s national security by gradually building joint capabilities in defence technology in Ukraine.

Under the agreement, Ukraine will benefit from comprehensive technology transfers; from the creation of defence technology capabilities at home; from additional local value added; and from the prompt delivery of military equipment from Germany.

As a first step, cooperation will focus on the maintenance and repair of vehicles transferred to Ukraine under the German government’s multilateral Ringtausch equipment exchange programme as well as those directly supplied to Ukraine by Germany (Rheinmetall supplies 35mm Gepard Ammunition to Ukraine, Rheinmetall supplying Ukraine with automated reconnaissance systems).

In later phases, based on a comprehensive transfer of technology, the cooperation partners intend to jointly produce selected Rheinmetall products in Ukraine. Looking ahead, cooperation between Rheinmetall and UDI could also involve the joint development of military systems by teams of Ukrainian and German specialists, including for subsequent export by Ukraine.
