Astor Defence has secured a four year supply agreement with the international defence giant, the Nammo Group, for the supply of TNT. Nammo are one of the world’s largest independent providers of specialist ammunition and rocket motors. The contract provides for Astor Defence to supply Nammo with thousands of tons of TNT over the next four year for the production of their 155mm artillery shells. Astor Defence is also launching new product lines featuring essential components designed to enhance their military packaging solutions. In addition to TNT, Astor Defence is now expanding their product range to include ball powder propellant for small calibre ammunition, primers, brass cartridge cases, and projectiles. Astor Defence currently has spare capacity for 2025 TNT supply and is welcoming enquiries from interested parties.
Visionary head of Astor Defence, Henry Turnbull says “We are very excited about the addition of these products as they will enable us to better serve our customers and the needs of the defence industry.”
Astor already supplies most of the major munition manufacturers in Europe and America with their military packaging requirements from small calibre boxes such as M19A1, M2A1, and M2A2 up to pallets for 155mm shells, so this expansion represents a natural synergy for the company and reflects their commitment to providing comprehensive support to their clients in the defence sector. By incorporating these high-quality components, they are ensuring that their packaging not only meets but exceeds the stringent requirements of military operations. This natural extension of their offerings underscores their dedication to innovation and customer satisfaction, allowing them to deliver even greater value and efficiency to their partners.
