The German company Heckler & Koch continued to grow in the first half of 2024. Both sales and incoming orders increased significantly compared to the same period last year. After 149.9 million euros in the previous year, turnover amounted to 171.4 million euros in the first half of 2024. The increase in order intake was even more significant: this year, it amounted to 197.8 million euros after 142.6 million euros in the same period of the previous year.
The growth of the company with its approximately 1,100 employees is due to the focus on the government market and the continuing high demand from security forces from the European Union and NATO can be attributed to this. However, the successful market launch of new products and, according to the company, the “very good demand for services” also play a role in the strong result. https://militaeraktuell.at/bundesheer-f-35-bleiben-zum-training-in-oesterreich/ The CEO of Heckler & Koch AG, Jens Bodo Koch, explains: “The development of our company is always a reflection of the security and defense policy situation. Heckler & Koch is ready to contribute its share to peace and security as an indispensable key company in the small arms sector. Freedom and peace cannot be taken for granted. The development of the National Security and Defense Industry Strategy by the Federal Ministry of Defense and the participating companies is an important step.”
