German defense contractor Rheinmetall is increasing production of 155mm ammunition at its facility in Lower Saxony, a move that is generating concern among local residents, workers, and labor unions. The expansion represents a shift in Germany’s defense strategy amid a declining demand for the automotive industry. Workers at the plant have expressed apprehension regarding potential job security, while local residents have voiced dissatisfaction with the increased activity.

Labor unions have been unable to establish a unified position on the expansion. The 155mm ammunition production is supported by increased military spending across Europe.
