Illawarra mercury reported that more steel jobs may be created in Wollongong after Bisalloy Steel Group announced the establishment of a teaming agreement with Rheinmetall Defence Australia. The agreement relates to the development and production of high performance armour steel for both the Commonwealth of Australia’s Land 400 Phase 2 program and other global customers for Rheinmetall’s range of protected military vehicles.
With an estimated cost of AUD 14 to AUD 20 billion for acquisition, Land 400 is the biggest and most expensive acquisition program in the Australian Army’s history, with Phase 2 acquiring 225 CRVs in a project that will modernise the Army’s Armoured Fighting Vehicle capability and provide mounted support to defence operations for decades to come.
Rheinmetall Defence Australia is the regional arm of Rheinmetall AG, a German publicly listed integrated technology group and market leader in the areas of environmentally friendly mobility and threat-appropriate security technology whose mission is to provide friendly forces with the best possible protection.
Representing the Rheinmetall Defence range of products and services in Australia from its current base in Melbourne, Rheinmetall Defence Australia is now engaged with Bisalloy on the development and qualification of Bisalloy Armour steel products for use on Rheinmetall’s BOXER Combat Reconnaissance Vehicle (CRV) for Phase 2 of the Australian Army’s 4 Phase LAND 400 program.
Rheinmetall Defence Australia managing director Andrew Fletcher said the development project had been so successful, the Bisalloy Armour steel will now become another Australian product in Rheinmetall’s Global Supply Chain and offered to customers in Europe, North America and Asia.
Mr Fletcher said the company was proud to state that for the first time the steel protecting Australian soldiers would be designed, developed and manufactured by an Australian company. He said that “Bisalloy’s capabilities have not only created the best possible protection for Australian soldiers but also a significant export opportunity for this leading Australian manufacturer. We welcome Bisalloy to the Rheinmetall Land 400 team and we look forward to building a long term relationship that further establishes the company offshore.”’
Listed on the ASX and operating for over 38 years, Bisalloy is Australia''s only manufacturer of high tensile and abrasion-resistant quenched and tempered steel plate used for armour, structural, protection and wear resistant steel applications.
The companies will deliver a range of products and services to support the manufacture of the BOXER CRV as part of Rheinmetall’s commitment to building Australian Industry Capability.
