Since its establishment in 1986, Rheinmetall Canada has grown to be a leading global defence and security company providing advanced solutions to militaries around the world. The year 2026 marks the 40th anniversary of its doors opening in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. Its successes over the years have made the Canadian company renowned for its expertise in the design and integration of C4I solutions, vehicle systems and weapon systems and is the Canadian leader in autonomous ground systems. Having completed contracts for clients in North America, Europe, and Asia, the brand is trusted around the globe by both governments and commercial customers alike.
Though its international recognition is held in high regard, Rheinmetall Canada’s focus has always been at home: boasting a supply chain of over 900 companies from coast-to-coast, Rheinmetall has spent the last 40 years quietly harnessing the highest calibre of Canadian expertise to deliver more than 20 programs to the Canadian Armed Forces, resulting in over CAD 1.5 billion in industrial benefits.
Rheinmetall Canada has always been a strong advocate for research and development for the defence sector and dual-use purposes. For more than six years, its primary goal has been fostering Canadian innovation and field-testing autonomous ground solutions in real-world applications.
As countries around the world turn their focus to next-generation applications of autonomous solutions, Rheinmetall Canada stands to be the biggest player on the market while maintaining the benefits at home. A partnership with Rheinmetall is a commitment to modernize our forces, create Canadian jobs, grow exports, and strengthen sovereignty – and this with a Canadian-born and Canadian-developed solution.
