KMW:

Clear focus – clear specialisation – one clear dedication!

Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) was incepted in 1999 when the military sector of Krauss-Maffei AG was acquired by Wegmann GmbH.

LEOPARD’S HOME

No other military vehicle manufacturer in Europe offers such a comprehensive spectrum of services as KMW: Vehicle systems such as the LEOPARD, PzH 2000, DINGO, LEGUAN and FENNEK; training and simulation infrastructures which fulfil any demand, logistics, documentation, spare parts as well as security and quality management. We factor in national requirements flexibly, ambitiously and innovatively, and integrate ourselves into existing national structures.

KMW is a long-standing and dependable partner of the armed forces.

KMW sets standards for the future with its partners. From decades of experience with military land systems, we purposefully translate our customers’ requirements into research and development, the results of which optimise our systems as needed. However, we don’t just build vehicles and develop cutting-edge technology. Logistics individually tailored to the specific customers, training programmes and extensive spare parts management are indispensable for all vehicle types and customer solutions. This way, we keep our customers ready for operation on wheels and tracks. Each system is based on a customer-specific logistical concept. This includes industrial participation and coproduction. KMW also handles the infrastructure by setting up simulation centres, maintenance bases, production facilities, inspection stations and testing tracks for example. We keep, maintain and expand a stable supplier network of well-known component and subsystem manufacturers. Our continuous demand guarantees long-term supportability.

KMW also makes sure that soldiers are trained and instructed before the initial systems are delivered. This includes instructor training, initial training, supplementary, delta and refresher training, both in the simulator and on real equipment, on the individual system and in complex mission scenarios.
