Turkish, Norwegian defence firms to build ammunition filling plant for Denmark

Turkish defence company Repkon will set up a 155-millimeter artillery ammunition filling facility in cooperation with Norwegian firm Nammo, aiming to boost Denmark’s national ammunition production.

The project is part of the Nordic Defence Cooperation (NORDEFCO), which includes Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, working to strengthen the region’s defence through joint initiatives.

Denmark signed a deal with Nammo to restart its ammunition production at the Elling plant, while Nammo partnered with Repkon to build the new filling facility.

Repkon will fill explosives such as TNT, IMX-101, and IMX-104 into 155-millimeter shells, as well as other advanced explosives, using a highly automated plant with a small workforce.

Repkon is experienced in artillery filling, holding contracts with countries including the US, Germany, Spain, Ukraine, Pakistan, and Azerbaijan. The company also acquired Bowas, a defense firm specialized in explosives equipment design and production in Austria, Italy, and Switzerland.

Nammo, based in Norway, is a leading global supplier of specialized ammunition, shoulder-fired weapons, and rocket engines, with 3,700 employees, 27 production plants, and operations in 11 countries.
