Following the Memorandum of Understanding signed in the fourth quarter of 2025, Rheinmetall Landsysteme and GEK TERNA have now executed a long-term binding Strategic Framework Agreement that combines GEK TERNA’s leading position in critical infrastructure, energy and industrial investments across South-Eastern Europe with Rheinmetall’s world-class portfolio of land systems and defence technologies.

The partnership creates the foundation for substantial industrial cooperation in Greece, with significant local added value, sustainable capability development and long-term technological advancement. Through this agreement, the two companies will combine their complementary expertise to meet evolving operational requirements and deliver reliable, high-quality integrated defence solutions while supporting the long-term development of Greece’s defence industrial ecosystem.

The partnership is intended to provide the Hellenic Armed Forces with state-of-the-art capabilities based, inter alia, on new tactical land systems as well as lifecycle maintenance and upgrade of existing assets. A central objective of the cooperation is the systematic development of enduring industrial capabilities within the Hellenic Army’s own industrial facilities, complemented by the active participation of Greek small and medium-sized enterprises. By progressively establishing domestic production, integration, maintenance and support capacities, the partnership seeks to strengthen Greece’s long-term operational self-reliance, institutional expertise and sovereign ability to sustain critical defence capabilities throughout their entire lifecycle.
