Products for ammunition manufacturing

For ammunition manufacturing applications, BROCKHAUS Stahl provides cold-rolled steel strip, blanks and rounds made from steel, brass and tombac. The products are designed for forming, deep drawing, stamping and follow-up processes and support process-reliable manufacturing with high demands on dimensional accuracy, material quality and availability. The focus is on applications where material behaviour, forming stability and reproducible quality are decisive for a reliable series production process. BROCKHAUS combines precise material design with industrial supply capability for quality-critical applications.

Relevance for defence customers

What makes BROCKHAUS relevant for defence customers

In the defence sector, success depends not solely on material quality, but on the interplay of technical performance, process reliability and supply chain stability. BROCKHAUS Stahl positions itself as an industrial partner for applications where materials must be reliably available under strict tolerance and quality requirements.

Our relevance for defence customers is based on five factors:

Material expertise

Precise material design for demanding forming and series production processes.

Process reliability

Material solutions for reproducible manufacturing processes with stable quality windows.

Supply capability

Reliable industrial supply for plannable and robust procurement processes.

Quality orientation

Focus on dimensionally accurate, quality-critical and application-appropriate material supply.

Integration into defence supply chains

Understanding of the requirements of security and defence-relevant value chain structures.

Defence

Responsibility, supply security and future viability

BROCKHAUS pursues a holistic approach in the defence sector: from high-performance materials for security-critical applications through closed material loops to forward-looking energy solutions. In this way, we combine industrial supply capability with supply security, industrial resilience, scalability, resource efficiency and sustainable development of defence-relevant supply chains.

Defence Ready designation

With the Defence Ready designation, the BROCKHAUS Group has been assessed as a compatible partner for security and defence-relevant supply chains. The certification confirms relevant capabilities in the areas of structure, quality, safety, supply reliability and network capability. For customers in the defence sector, this is important evidence that BROCKHAUS, as a reliable industrial partner, understands and can meet the requirements of demanding procurement and supply structures.

Keep materials in circulation

In the defence sector, robust material cycles are increasingly important. Through the Recycling division of Brockhaus Lennetal GmbH, BROCKHAUS aims to recover metallic materials and waste and reintroduce them into the cycle. This closed-loop approach helps customers use resources more efficiently, reduce raw material losses and build more resilient supply chains. This creates added value for defence applications where supply security, material availability and ESG requirements are equally relevant.

Decentralized hydrogen production as a future building block

With approaches to decentralized hydrogen production, BROCKHAUS is advancing energy supply thinking in a defence context. Decentralized solutions can help make industrial and defence-adjacent structures more independent, resilient and future-proof. Thus, BROCKHAUS complements its holistic approach with an energy perspective that, alongside materials and recycling expertise, strengthens long-term supply security for critical applications.
