under construction

Rheinmetall has begun building a new artillery ammunition plant in Lithuania's Baisogala to boost NATO's defense production on the alliance's eastern flank. The facility will produce tens of thousands of 155mm artillery shells annually once operational in 2026. The plant is a joint venture with Lithuania's state-owned energy company EPSO-G under Rheinmetall Defence Lietuva, representing an investment of up to 300 million euros ($346 million) and expected to create around 150 jobs. A Centre of Excellence for propellant charges will also be established under Rheinmetall Defence Lietuva to manufacture energetic components and modular propellant charges with an annual output projected in the hundreds of thousands.
