Rheinmetall Awards €60m Contracts to Slovak Industry

RayService and Rheinmetall yesterday signed two major contracts worth over €60m for the delivery of electronical and electrical systems for the LYNX IFV, Rheinmetall writes in a press release. The contracts cover control systems, cable harnesses and lighting systems for the second phase of the Hungarian LYNX KF41 programme, worth more than €30M.

Another package of around €30M is a fix pre-contract for the deliveries of LYNX IFV to the Slovak Army, should Rheinmetall be selected as the preferred bidder. RayService components and systems for the Hungarian defence forces will be produced in their facility in Skalica, Slovakia and then exported to Hungary. RayService will thus benefit from integration into the Lynx supply chain prior to the actual IFV tender evaluation in Slovakia.
