Chemring is pleased to announce that its Norwegian subsidiary, Chemring Nobel, has signed a 15-year partnering agreement with Northrop Grumman for the supply of HMX energetic material used in its missile programmes. This agreement, which reflects the increasing desire of our customers to move to long-term partnering agreements, builds on the two companies’ long-standing relationship and supports Northrop Grumman’s efforts to expand its munitions manufacturing production in response to growing customer demand.
As part of this agreement, Chemring also received a delivery order from Northrop Grumman, valued at $83m, for the supply of HMX. Deliveries under this order will commence in FY26 and will be made over the following three years, with all work being carried out at Chemring Nobel’s facility at S?tre, Norway.
Michael Ord, Chief Executive of Chemring, commented:
“These awards, which illustrate the long-term and valued relationship that we enjoy with Northrop Grumman, support our decision to invest in increasing the capacity of our three energetics businesses over the medium-term, and reinforces Chemring’s position as a key supplier to NATO.”
