KMW leads the European market for highly protected wheeled and tracked vehicles. The armed forces of more than 30 nations worldwide rely on tactical systems by KMW.

All KMW systems are designed for this requirement - at the core of protection, mobility and fire power. This effort is based upon decades of experience and continuous research and development. The result: a superior product portfolio for the most demanding missions.

With locations in Germany, Brazil, Greece, Mexico, the Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom, the USA and Turkey, some 3500 employees develop, manufacture and support a product portfolio ranging from air-transportable, highly protected wheeled vehicles through reconnaissance, antiaircraft and artillery systems to main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and bridge laying systems.

In addition, KMW has wide-ranging system competence in the area of civil and military simulation, as well as in command and information systems and remote-controlled weapon stations with reconnaissance and observation equipment for day and night missions.
