Against the background of current geopolitical tensions and a growing global demand for ammunition, Enforce Tac, the leading trade fair for internal and external security, is initiating the AMMO SYMPOSIUM in cooperation with RWS: it will serve as the key gathering for leading experts, decision-makers and procurement professionals. The event will focus on the pressing challenges in ammo production and procurement, which are becoming increasingly relevant due to ongoing conflicts such as the one in Ukraine. Several EU member countries are currently working together to secure ammunition supplies and establish long-term, stable supply chains for European defence. This issue is also being discussed intensively at European level, most recently due to statements by German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD), who believes that a coordinated procurement of ammunition by EU member states Europe is imperative.
In cooperation, the organisers of Enforce Tac and RWS GmbH have decided to jointly organise the AMMO SYMPOSIUM. "Enforce Tac 2025 will set new benchmarks, not just for its size, but also for its depth of content.
With the AMMO SYMPOSIUM, we are creating a platform that specifically addresses the most pressing issues of ammunition supply and brings the right players together. Our partnership with RWS GmbH underlines the importance of this topic for the entire industry," emphasised Luisa Seibt, Director of Marketing for Enforce Tac.

RWS GmbH, a leading manufacturer of small-arms ammunition, pyrotechnic elements and components, plays a key role in supporting the AMMO SYMPOSIUM.
Alexandra Cristea, VP of Sales/R&D at RWS GmbH, stresses the importance of the forum: "In a rapidly changing global security landscape, it is crucial to find shared approaches for transparent and efficient cooperation. This event allows us to share our knowledge and work together with procurement professionals and the industry on innovative strategies for the future."
This is on the programme at the AMMO SYMPOSIUM 2025
The symposium will consist of presentations by experts followed by a discussion panel. Participants will be able to network with leading representatives of the industry and gain in-depth insights into current issues and challenges in ammunition procurement. It offers a unique opportunity to exchange information and ideas with relevant stakeholders and help develop leading-edge solutions for current and future ammunition
"In a time in which the procurement of ammunition and production capacities are being strained worldwide, the AMMO SYMPOSIUM offers a valuable framework for confidential discussions and the development of joint solution strategies. We look forward to continuing to foster discussions between procurement professionals, the industry, and political decision-makers," says Isabelle Teufert, Exhibition Director Enforce Tac.
