Major order for RUAG police ammunition from the Netherlands

Fürth/Thun (ots)

In a public invitation to tender, RUAG Ammotec,
a subsidiary of the RUAG technology group, has won a major order for
its 9 mm "Action" ammunition from the Royal Netherlands Constabulary.
The order is worth 17 million euros.  RUAG's newly developed product,
which is based on Sintox technology, saw off competition from six
other European bidders. RUAG Ammotec is Europe's leading supplier of

supplies a large proportion of the ammunition purchased by German and
