Rheinmetall Automotive supplying mobile communications market

KPSNC is producing die-cast aluminum housings for a well-known international company in the field of mobile communications. A large proportion of the housings are being assembled and then delivered by KPSNC to the customer ready for use. The company is thus establishing itself as a competent supplier of castings to be used in setting up the 5G network worldwide.

The company will supply the components in quantities well into the six-digit range before the end of 2020. The initial order now placed has a total value of around €150 million. For Rheinmetall Automotive, this order represents an important step into a completely new and, above all, fast growing and promising industry, which has a high potential for growth in the next years. Experts have calculated that a nationwide 5G network, for example, simply for the Chinese market, would require a double-digit million transmission masts.

The reason for choosing the supplier for the manufacture and assembly of the housings was the experience of this auto-industry specialist accustomed to the very stringent demands on the durability of the large castings in the most diverse temperature ranges and their general weather resistance.
