According to Rheinmetall, the plant covers an area of about 11,500 square meters and mainly produces 120 mm and 155 mm caliber weapon systems, including artillery used in the British Army's “Challenger 3” main battle tank, and weapon systems required for future artillery platforms. Once the plant reaches maximum production capacity, it can produce up to 245 barrels and more than 50 sets of gun tail mechanisms per year.
