Expal is a provider of weapons to the Spanish army, and the Spanish government in 2020 introduced an authorization process for the acquisition by a foreign company, including EU-based companies, of stakes larger than 10% in companies considered to be strategic. With the acquisition, Rheinmetall said it aims to bolster its core weapon, ammunition and propellants business.A spokesperson for Expal confirmed the deal but gave no further comment.
Expal has a workforce of more than 1,000 employees and 11 production sites and is present in over 60 countries.
