Despite some bumps in the road, Rheinmetall keeps motoring along. The company's Kolbenschmidt Pierburg subsidiary (62%-owned) offers automotive components (bearings, pistons, pumps) and engine repair services; it accounts for 40% of Rheinmetall's sales. Through subsidiary Rheinmetall DeTec and 51%-owned STN ATLAS Elektronik, the company offers air-defense systems, ammunition, and other military products. Rheinmetall's ADITRON subsidiary produces industrial electronics for automation, communication, and security uses, and its engineering segment (which it intends to sell) manufactures papermaking equipment and other industrial machinery. Holding company Röchling Industrie Verwaltung GmbH owns 37% of Rheinmetall.
